I'm not great at dealing with death, I have to say. I find death very hard: my mum, my dad, Sid Vicious. I'm not a monster; I feel it and it scares me. One death at a time, please, is all my heart will bear.
John LydonI keep falling off the edge of the stage because I can't see it. I can't see my wrinkles in the mirror either, though.
John LydonPunks in their silly leather jackets are a clichรฉ. I have never liked the term and have never discussed it. I just got on with it and got out of it when it became a competition.
John LydonDestroy everything. That's all well and fine, but you got to offer something in it's place. Since I always have a point and purpose to what I do, thats why people accuse me of being calculated. it's the way I am. I always know my next move. I could never conjure up a death wish, this is all I have is life. I don't know what comes next, and frankly I'm in no rush to find out. I don't believe in playing a martyr just for the sheer hell of it. And for something as chidish as Rock 'N' Roll is not on.
