Art should be life. It's an imitation of life. It should have some humanity in it.

John Lydon

Move to Italy. I mean it: they know about living in debt; they don't care. I stayed out there for five months while I was making a film called 'Order Of Death,' and they've really got it sussed. Nice cars. Sharp suits. Great food. Stroll into work at 10. Lunch from 12 till three. Leave work at five. That's living!

John Lydon

I don't like walking in the street and seeing 30,000 copies of myself.

John Lydon

Music is a simulation of something, but language is the greatest thing we possess.

John Lydon

It's nice to be a part of history but people should get it right. I may not be perfect, but I'm bloody close.

John Lydon

Just because people think politically different to you doesn't mean they're inhuman.

John Lydon

What I like or dislike in music is my internal affair. I never want an audience out there to be influenced because John said. I don't want to have to endure that kind of nonsense. I work for the art of the individual.

John Lydon

People should never allow themselves to be dictated to by media.

John Lydon

Ever get the feeling you've been cheated?

John Lydon

I'm a great self-doubter. I constantly need to prove myself to myself. I've never run to heroin or alcohol to hide that. I always have to deal with it. Stage fright is always going to be there. I have nightmares about bad gigs.

John Lydon

I've always strived to maintain a very healthy, friendly working situation, and lo and behold, it only took forty years, so the next sixty are looking bright. You're dealing with human beings on the cutting edge, and there's bound to be tension. You have to be make room for that, and you can't be too unreasonable, because that's everybody else's role.

John Lydon

One of the most beautiful things about Britain, apart from the NHS and the free education, is the British Army.

John Lydon

The way the music industry is now geared, it's fewer accolades towards new and upcoming acts. New bands offer bright creativity. It's a set format. A venue would rather hire a DJ than a band, and that's a problem.

John Lydon

If I'm left to my own devices, I will be tempted to make the most unlistenable music possible.

John Lydon

Some song ideas absolutely require a kind of rigid discipline, and others require absolute chaotic abandon. The form is only valid if you know how to un-form it. I don't mean to sound like an intellectual here!

John Lydon

I don't believe in false memories, like I don't believe in false songs.

John Lydon

Love is what you feel for a dog or a pussycat. It doesn't apply to humans.

John Lydon

The country you're born in is where your passport comes from. No, not according to Donald Trump! No, not at all. I resent that kind of extremism of any kind. Left wing, right wing. Anyway at all. Anything that judges other people so harshly and across the board stupidity-wise. I got no time for that.

John Lydon

I don't release records to be anything but enjoyable.

John Lydon

Punk was never about one particular clean-cut imagery... it's about many, many individuals coming very loosely together.

John Lydon

I think there's something basically wrong with the general public that they do need their icons.

John Lydon

Judge not others unless you're prepared to be judged!

John Lydon

You'd have to be daft as a brush to say you didn't like Pink Floyd.

John Lydon

You can always wake up on the wrong side of the bed and boo-hiss everyone suffers. We can all be temperamental.

John Lydon

I never wore a studded leather jacket, y'know. Ne-va! If I had had the money I wouldn't have spent it on shit like that.

John Lydon

When you grew up like me and my four brothers, you end up feeling somewhat inadequate, like somehow you don't count.

John Lydon

I have one major problem with the Internet: It's full of liars.

John Lydon

Any kind of history you read is basically the winning side telling you the others were bad.

John Lydon

People don't like other poor people, and rather than blame the people that make you all poor, you blame each other.

John Lydon

I hate the technological rip-offs that pass for music formats these days, and go back to vinyl to hear a good record because the sound is always so much fuller. I don't even like listening to music in the car.

John Lydon

Punk is like looking at a mirror. I already have a mirror so I don't need the Offspring to remind me how gorgeous I am.

John Lydon

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 Lydon

Sometimes the most positive thing you can be in a boring society is absolutely negative.

John Lydon

I have the integrity of a teenager and that's never going to be stolen from me. I'm the original virgin.

John Lydon

Do what I want, be honest to myself and then it would do good for others, that's all, full on.

John Lydon

Britain's an island; it's always had a constant ebb and flow of immigration - it makes it a better place.

John Lydon

I've never told anyone this. But I suffer from terrible stage fright. True. You can't tell though, can you? Unbelievable, the panic. I nearly die of fear before I go on stage. Something wicked. I can't eat a thing the day before a gig. It'd make me vomit.

John Lydon

There's many, many ways to write a song. But generally, sitting down at a table and writing is not one of them.

John Lydon

If you give me the chance, I'll destroy America for you.

John Lydon

I've helped launch 49 careers - those that have been in PiL. To me, they are my babies; whatever they get up to, they know I love them. They've been living in my pockets, and they should show more gratitude.

John Lydon

You never know how things will work out. After all the bad reasons in the world, some good came out.

John Lydon

Punk became a circus didn't it? Everybody got it wrong. The message was supposed to be: Don't follow us, do what you want!

John Lydon

For me, I'll always stand up for the disenfranchised, and I'm going to make a big point of that. I'm not a protest singer as such, you know? After the endurance course of the early 70s and 60s, I don't want to become one of them twats. But you got to learn to speak the truth.

John Lydon

Periods of inactivity, I don't know such things. I'm consistently writing. My life is busy. It always is. There are hardly any moments for self-indulgent laziness.

John Lydon

Here's how I understand music. If you can play the same bunch of noise twice, it's music. To go beyond that is supercilious and pontificating.

John Lydon

It seems like the more I punish myself, the better it's been. What it is, I'm relentless and I never give up. I never take the easy way out.

John Lydon

It's an absurdity to just wish for a world of chaos without anything viable in its place. I'm loyal to my culture, my creed, the human race and my people and I don't want to see them all end up in a Mad Max movie.

John Lydon

It's volatile, the marriage. Which one isn't? Nothing better than a good, full-on row. Get it all out. Say rude and nasty things. And then be sorry. Genuinely sorry, afterwards.
