I don't release records to be anything but enjoyable.
John Joseph Lydon -
I have values. But morals are Christian. There's no religion here. Values. Don't hurt when you don't need to, but don't let anybody step over that line - it's an invisible line, but it's respect for somebody's space.

You need the past as a guideline. The history of music is a good basis, but to escape that stuff, that tortuous rulebook, you have to learn it first. It's kind of like religion - once you've written the Bible, that's it, move on.
John Joseph Lydon -
I don't think there's any such thing as rock n' roll anymore - it's an amalgamation of business interests.
John Joseph Lydon -
Over the years, during television interviews, whenever the host or the reviewer or whoever gets cynical and nasty with me, I will behave accordingly. I will defend myself.
John Joseph Lydon -
There are no limits to where our brains can take us. We are, if there be a God, God's gracious creation.
John Joseph Lydon -
You'll find that empty vessels make the most sound.
John Joseph Lydon -
For me, the best rock is not what you play - it's what you're not playing.

I wanted to wear the most impenetrable suit of armour ever known to mankind. 'Hello, Mr. Rotten...' You can't say anything about me. You can't put me down in any way shape or form - I'm rotten to the core... you know, what's left for you? Pleasantries? I suppose the worst insult you could sling my way is 'Oh, he's really nice, him.'
