John Lydon quotes - page 6

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'm no one's lap dog, you can't put me on a leash. View quote
John Lydon
I love boating - not flash, 'noisy go fast' nonsense, but the general relaxation of it. My wife and I love to get in our little Wellcraft and go as far out to sea as we can, hopefully beyond land. That is the best thing you can ever do. It clears your psyche. View quote
John Lydon
I hate death; it takes people away from you. You're left feeling rudderless. View quote
John Lydon
I don't think there's any such thing as rock n' roll anymore - it's an amalgamation of business interests. View quote
John Lydon
I love Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart because they're bringing irony back into American humor, which is a delicious treat. The entire Colbert persona of being extreme right-wing when he's not at all is highly amusing. He does it so well, but sometimes a little too well. My wife is convinced he's completely that way.

John Lydon
As a human being, I'm work in process. View quote
John Lydon
We need wealthy dogs off the seats of power. They're taking us back to feudalism and I really don't want that. But I'm very far from being a socialist. View quote
John Lydon
My way of thinking as I approach any human being on this planet is, 'What are you doing now?' That's what interests me. I don't come at anybody with a whole bunch of assumptions. View quote
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. View quote
John Lydon
I don't tolerate liars. When somebody lies to me, that's really, like, just unbearable. (John Lydon)
If you give me the chance, I'll destroy America for you. View quote
John Lydon
It's no good being nice and young and naive. There's no good in that at all. You've got to do it all yourself, and you've gotta learn quick. And you can't look for sympathy either. View quote
John Lydon
Heaven is on this earth. There are no angels on the clouds with twanging harps... That's just another man's fantasy. View quote
John Lydon
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.' View quote
John Lydon
I've always despised the hippies. View quote
John Lydon
Obama's dense as a doorbell; not much going on up there - it's a wooden top. View quote
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. View quote
John Lydon
It's nice to be irritated. It's a very joyous thing. View quote
John Lydon
If anyone asks for your autograph they're showing you respect and give it back to them. View quote

I've created several musical trends, really. That's not because I'm so far out and fabulous. It's because most bands have no ideas of their own. They're so desperate they'll grab at any old straw. (John Lydon)
I always knew the Sixties wasn't a revolution. It really was just a bunch of university students with wealthy parents having fun. View quote
John Lydon
You're made to feel ugly, and I made ugly beautiful. Just by sheer persistence. Nobody has the right to say that I am ugly, and I will not be a professional victim, you know. Sorry! View quote
John Lydon
Let's face it, I ain't ever gonna be the best singer in the world, or the best anything. View quote
John Lydon
Gossip is a very dangerous tool. We should be more wary of the gossiper, and not the gossip they're trying to relay to you. View quote
