More From John Lydon

People ask me: ‘what is punk? how do you define punk?' here's how i define punk: it's a free space. it could be called jazz. it could be called hip-hop. it could be called blues, or rock, or beat. it could be called techno. it's just a new idea. for me, it was punk rock. that was my entrance to this idea of the new ideas being able to be presented in an environment that wasn't being dictated by a profit motive.

Let go of your worries let go of your worries and be completely clear-hearted, like the face of a mirror that contains no images. if you want a clear mirror, behold yourself and see the shameless truth, which the mirror reflects. if metal can be polished to a mirror-like finish, what polishing might the mirror of the heart require? between the mirror and the heart is this single difference: the heart conceals secrets, while the mirror does not.

That was actually lloyd phillips who was a kiwi film producer in l.a. and it was about gorgeous george, not haystacks calhoun. i was in a couple of lloyd's films and got approached to write the story. people don't realize it, but gorgeous george had this flamboyant, camp stage persona that had a tremendous influence on other celebrities, like elton john, liberace, elvis presley, and mohammed ali, who all wanted to establish their own outlandish stage personas. the project died because gorgeous george's wife refused to give up the rights.

Before you go into what is essentially a competition, you have to have that confidence. you have to ask yourself, "are they looking for a guy my height? my age? i've got a shot." and if there are nine guys auditioning and they're all gorgeous, i have an advantage, because gorgeous guys are a dime a dozen. but if they need someone else - like a goofy guy with bad hair who is just okay - then that's me. and finally, the other 2 percent who audition are geniuses that i could never touch.

I don't think that the punk sound really became the punk sound until much later. the punk era wasn't really just one musical sound. there are a lot of differences among television, the ramones, and the talking heads.

It's ok to sit in the golden globe room and look around and think, 'oh, helen mirren's a loser tonight, so is nicole kidman. meryl streep lost tonight. jessica lange didn't win.' if you're gonna be in the company of losers, that's the company to be in.
