People think I hate the Royal Family, but that's not true.

I've done no harm to no one. In fact, I think I've improved the world.

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.

I don't think there's any such thing as rock n' roll anymore - it's an amalgamation of business interests.

I've been asked over the years to compile a list of desert-island discs. I couldn't do that. If I was trapped on a desert island, I don't think I'd want 10 songs to bring with me.

I think there's something basically wrong with the general public that they do need their icons.

I've always said, I thought the Sex Pistols was more Music Hall than anything else - because I think that really, more truths are said in humour than any other form.

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.

Just because people think politically different to you doesn't mean they're inhuman.
