Oh, how I love misc. and irrelevant things. I really like reading Johnnys quotes, I always think I should make a collection of them but never get around to it, but I'll post a few I've found from various sites:
I'm extremely good-natured. Gosh darn it, I just really care about people! And all's I ever wanted was to be loved.
(John Lydon)
I merely point out, Sid was the man I... I brought him in. He was my friend.
(John Lydon; Ben is Dead)
Just for the sheer halibut, I'd be in the Spice Girls.
(John Lydon, re the question "If you were 16 in England now, what do you think you'd do?")
Keep your spit to yourself! Or else!
(John Lydon; out of context)
Never. Never. I admit to nothing!
(John Lydon; re singing Kumbaya in 'his old act')
(Voice building in intensity) Some fans don't know what they're talking about, and until all the evidence is in I really don't think it's worth commenting. I don't know. And he was my friend, and I don't know, and the rest is hearsay.
(John Lydon, re some fans not believing Sid killed Nancy)
Then there was a job with Sid [...]. We'd wait for the boss to go, then we'd run round Heals trying out beds. There was no one else in the building: it was like an adventure playground. There was no time limit on when we had to finish, so we waltzed out of there at one in the morning.
(John Lydon; from England's Dreaming by Jon Savage)
The only thing I was interested in was playing the character called Louis from Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles. That's something I think I could do, because he's a vampire but is very sad about it - I really love the irony of that. She's a great writer. I was gonna scrimp and save every penny I had to buy the film rights, so that I could script it.
(John Lydon; Interview Magazine)
Uh... Ladies underwear.
(John Lydon, re the question "What are some things that you're into that you think would surprise people?")
Well, there's many kinds of wrestling, and some I highly recommend.
(John Lydon)
Well the rest of it had a great deal to do with it. I mean, you know, that's just the way it is. But in terms of creativity, there was zero effort on the others' part. And Sid was the only one that showed any interest in that. But unfortunately Sid wasn't very competent. So more power to Sid. At least he knew a good thing when he heard it. (laughs)
(John Lydon; chat)
Would Sid have approved of the Sex Pistols reunion? Who gives a toss? He NEVER wrote any of the songs. He NEVER contributed to anything. In fact, he brought on a very sad and quick demise for the band. He killed the band off really. It's just a sad sack looking for an excuse to execute himself. Shame that he was also my friend!
(John Lydon)
And there are a few from Johnny without a source:
"...I want people to go out and start something, to see us and start something, or else I'm just wasting my time."
"My occupation is occupational hazard"
"Things happen because you make them happen - there's no such thing as destiny or fate or any of that"
"I get inspired watching all these idiots, who take fake drugs that do nothing for you, dancing about in clubs. We've become a mindless generation of followers; nobody is a doer any more."
"Yes [we're ripe for a revolution]. I don't know what it will be and I don't know when it will come, but we live in a society where the working-class ideal has been eroded and there's no inspiration... Don't look to me to be a leader. Despite what people think, I've never been a leader. I just live my life. If some people take example or inspiration, then so be it."
"You'll get one number and one number only cus' I'm a lazy bastard"
"Anarchy is nonsense. If it were true anarchy in the real sense, it wouldn't even have a name."
"I do what I do cos I love doing it, and yipee' if anyone else likes it."
"I like Americans very much. No problem. I like England, but I don't like the government. And the government here is as wack as anywhere else. Ain't no different. I don't know where that lot [the Bush Administration] goes to breed. It's ridiculous. I suppose in England they vote in idiots that can talk clever or sound clever and have a bigger vocabulary, but they're still idiots. At least your idiots can't spell potato."
"If you can't question your own philosophies, and you have to - daily - then they're not philosophies you should be following"
"My biggest fear, right, is ticks on the testicles."
"Young bands don't need an $800,000 video. If you can't play live you're in the wrong industry."
"Clap you fuckers. Because I m wasting my time not hearing myself."
"There's no point preaching to the converted or the clones."
"aren't we the worst thing you've ever seen? You can all stop starring at us now!"
"We want people to come and think about themselves, not copycat MTV punks."
"We do this to improve ourselves, not perpetuate the same old problems."
"We might do, we might not [make another album]. We haven't thought about it, not in 25 years. What's the need? What's the rush? Oh, I forgot, we're after your money. We should get another record out."
"I don't mean to be paranoid. Hello, we're probably being monitored right now. And so what? Tits! Tits! Tits! Let's just talk tits and cunts!"
"You aren't out to impress anybody with your big bad self, you just ARE your big bad self."
"I don't mean to lecture, but I have a very low tolerance for idiocy"
"I don't believe anyone should ever be fully understood."
"The entire punk movement. The term's been applied to a genre of music and it's been transformed into a uniform and a list of rules, regulations and rigid attitudes. It's humorless, bland outright copying. It's fake, and I don't like it. It's the enemy."
"I don't do no wrong, but if you wrong me, you got a fucking enemy for life. And that's how it should be. There's a line, a wall of respect, and if somebody trips over that -- kill 'em."
"They want the fantasy, they want the nonsense. They want to be mollycoddled and led into a cosy belief that everythings fine when it isnt."
"I like to know how things are, yeah. And I can be very, very wrong from time to time. But open debate to me is a thrill, not something to despise or run away from. And thats why I like to attack so many institutions, because if they cant stand up to the argument, then they cannot stand up and have no valid place in life or history."
"If you havent done it for yourself, it is worthless. Being able to stand up and say, 'Hello, Id like to thank absolutely no one for nothing' that is an achievement."
"Embrace the future. It'll be absolutely chaotic."
"I stand up and scream every chance I can, but I cant be the only one. Otherwise Im just a voice in the wilderness, and howling out there."
"Because without change, this is all rather pointless."
"Im even better. And less prone to being distraught and moody and miserable, depressed by things not working out. Now its just 'Oh well, that didnt happen next. Move on. Dont wallow in it.' Self-pity is such a defeating nonsense. Its a luxury really. Like boredom. People should realize that. That we now live in a society where we can have those luxuries and this was not possible 100 years back. Only the very idle wealthy and titled had that luxury. Now weve all got it."
"The wiser you get, the more you know that there is no answer."
And others about Johnny:
Johnny looked amazing in a mohair jumper: like a young Albert Steptoe. Very queenified: always moaning.
(Helen Wallington-Llyod; from England's Dreaming by Jon Savage)
Johnny Rotten seems amiable, almost cheerful in the suite of a trendy Hollywood hotel on the day Sid Vicious would have turned 31. His unrotten mood, and the shadow that darkens his face at the mention of the fallen Sex Pistol, suggests he hasn't given the birthday a single thought. "And I won't either" he says tersely. "He's dead. Let him rest in peace. He didn't have much of a happy life anyway."
(Bam Magazine)
[Johnny] already had cigarette burns on his wrists: it was one of the games Sid and he played in their Hampstead bedsit.
(John Ingham; from England's Dreaming by Jon Savage)
Johnny was like a young Rimbaud: thoughtful, angry, beautiful. I don't think he ever realized how beautiful he was.
(Caroline Coon; from England's Dreaming by Jon Savage)
[T]he manager of the Great Southeast Music Hall at the time had about a two year old son, and after the soundcheck, they let everybody back in, and here's Johnny Rotten with this little boy in his arms, playing with him, and kidding with him, and making him laugh and stuff.
(John Fagot)
Then I noticed [Sid] was following Lydon around: everywhere Lydon went, he would go.
(Nick Kent; from England's Dreaming by Jon Savage)
And other pistols:
Where's Steve? Go get Steve. Is he with that bird? I bet he's with that bird. Please get him back here. I can't be expeted to entertain the audience all by myself. I'm just the fucking drummer.
(Paul Cook; radio interview shortly after the Pistols broke up)
? And OH SHIT doesn't Johnny look good ;D
I wish someone would, as I don't yet have the capability 
.
..that is the first PiL song I really fell in love with and he performs it SOOOO damn well ....just like sitting on a joy buzzer
