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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Heaven is on this earth. There are no angels on the clouds with twanging harps... That’s just another man’s fantasy Picture Quote #1

Punk was never about one particular clean-cut imagery... it’s about many, many individuals coming very loosely together Picture Quote #1

If my leg falls off, I’ll get a prosthetic. There’d be no deep sadness about. I’d just get on with it! It’s called life, and I love life. You have to be positive, and you have to crack on no matter what Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Being born into the Royal Family is like being born into a mental asylum. Marrying into it is not something to be taken lightly Picture Quote #1

I always knew the Sixties wasn’t a revolution. It really was just a bunch of university students with wealthy parents having fun Picture Quote #1

I find Lady Gaga hilarious. And I kind of like her. My heart’s warmed to her Picture Quote #1

I had an Irish Catholic education. Horrible nuns, vindictive and cruel Picture Quote #1

I love consumerism, TV culture, shopping malls. There’s nothing I’d ever buy, but I like being there. It’s wacky Picture Quote #1

Occasionally, a re-enactment is a fine thing. I love Civil War re-enactments Picture Quote #1

Pop music I have always loved best. But the more extreme, fascist-led examples of the music business I tend to detest the most Picture Quote #1

The record companies fell apart - quite deservedly. Their corrupting, all-binding contract nonsense had to stop Picture Quote #1

There are no limits to where our brains can take us. We are, if there be a God, God’s gracious creation Picture Quote #1

U2 - that’s a band that never should have existed. There’s no life experience in any of their songs Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

When you come from desperate poverty, and that’s exactly what I come from, you know that nonsenses are not to be tolerated. I’m not sure who gains from chaos, but I know it’s not the poor folks in the council flats. The politics of vindictiveness is never, ever anything like a solution Picture Quote #1

You know, I’ve been to some superstars’ houses, and I’ve been really disgusted when I see their platinum discs hanging in the toilet. They’re just there on the walls glaring at you when you’re trying to be occupied with other things Picture Quote #1

A record company used to be a very good thing, but they ended up soul-destroyingly trapping people in the accounting department. And you couldn’t get any further, and the heads of each department were changing all the time, so you couldn’t have any permanent relationship within the corporation Picture Quote #1

Any new ideas go into PiL. My inspiration is everything that the human being gets up to. I don’t listen to any music when I’m in PiL-zone, because influences can poison your well. Otherwise, I listen to anything Picture Quote #1

I don’t believe in anarchy, because it will ultimately amount to the power of the bully, with weapons. Gandhi is my life’s inspiration: passive resistance. I don’t want to live in the Thunderdome with Mad Max Picture Quote #1
