My entire life, socially, was all around the Maggie era. That was the great challenge as a Sex Pistol was how to deal with Margaret Thatcher. I think we did rather good.

I like crazy people, especially those who don't see the risk.

I'm just permanently agitated by everything and everyone.

I don't tolerate liars. When somebody lies to me, that's really, like, just unbearable.

I could take on England, but I couldn't take on one heroin user.

It's a loser's emblem (swastika), because the Nazis lost the war. It's ridiculous to suggest we are involved with fascists. All my best friends are black, gay, Irish or criminals.

I never thought of Green Day as a punk band. Just bubblegum, really.
