Zitat des Tages von John Lydon:
I love pop music. It's not easy to write a good pop song.
Love is 2 minutes and 52 seconds of squelching noises.
Situationism is a ludicrous proposition. It's ill-formed and it's perfectly French. That Gallic disposition towards common sense. L'Anarchie!
Dummy Dum Dum was my nickname for years at school. I was the strange one of the family, the one who couldn't remember his name.
I love books, and all the best ones are people analysing their own emotions. You can learn from that.
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.
I love American ski resorts because they're open to everyone, are not incredibly expensive. They're not snobby and you can have fun all day long on the most excellent mountains.
I'm not this callous clown walking around laughing at life all the time. I've had some serious, serious problems in my life. But I've come out with a smile.
If you were to look back at me as a school kid you'd see a very quiet little church mouse kind of character.
When I write, my brain moves faster than my hands so I'm always trying to picture things.
There's no harm in me. Really, I'm just a big kid.
I have one major problem with the Internet: It's full of liars.
I'm not here for your amusement. You're here for mine.
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.
The so-called alleged 'art' of the video - well, the video has killed the radio star, but the video star killed the live musician, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
Pop music I have always loved best. But the more extreme, fascist-led examples of the music business I tend to detest the most.
Don't accept the old order. Get rid of it.
As a human being, I'm work in process.
Do what I want, be honest to myself and then it would do good for others, that's all, full on.
Listen, you know this: If there's not a rebellious youth culture, there's no culture at all. It's absolutely essential. It is the future. This is what we're supposed to do as a species, is advance ideas.
You'll find that empty vessels make the most sound.
If you give me the chance, I'll destroy America for you.
It's a repressive society where you can't be horrible, I'm not horrible, they made me horrible, I'm just honest.
Music is a simulation of something, but language is the greatest thing we possess.
There's nothing glorious in dying. Anyone can do it.
Occasionally, a re-enactment is a fine thing. I love Civil War re-enactments.
U2 - that's a band that never should have existed. There's no life experience in any of their songs.
Remaining childish is a tremendous state of innocence.
Sometimes the most positive thing you can be in a boring society is absolutely negative.
Having a birthday cake squashed into your face by young kids? Delicious. I always don a Santa suit at Christmas. Remaining childish is a tremendous state of innocence.
I think national pride leads to nothing but wars and hate.
I cannot comprehend fundamentalism. It's fundamentally wrong.
If you ever want to know why I'm not on a record label, look at 'The X Factor!' Honestly, of all the people that strive to break barriers in music and do good things and write great lyrics, not one of them would ever pass the first round on any of these competitions.
I don't like the monikers, and I don't like being pigeonholed. You know, I'm a human being.
I 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.
Music can describe emotions far more accurately than words ever can. As soon as I realised that, I knew music was where I wanted to be.
