Too fast to live, too young to die Picture Quote #1

The Pistols were like my work of art. They were my canvas Picture Quote #1

I’ve always embraced failure as a noble pursuit. It allows you to be anti whatever anyone wants you to be, and to break all the rules Picture Quote #1

Stealing things is a glorious occupation, particularly in the art world Picture Quote #1

Art school had taught me it was far better to be a flamboyant failure than any kind of benign success Picture Quote #1

The thing about Paris, it’s a great city for wandering around and buying shoes and nursing a cafe au lait for hours on end and pretending you’re Baudelaire. But it’s not a city where you can work Picture Quote #1

Sid Vicious began the age of participation in which everyone could be the artist. Sid proved that you don’t have to play well to be the star. You can play badly, or not even at all. I endorsed that attitude. If you can’t write songs, no problem - simply steal one and change it to your taste Picture Quote #1

Nothing changes and very little happens in Paris. This is a great place to work without distraction - and then I run away to New York, where I have a life! Picture Quote #1

I believe that movies are fast becoming antique and dinosauric as a medium. Film is a medium for the over-40s and television has gone the same way. If you’re going to look towards the new generation, then of course you’re going to have to be a lot more random, spontaneous, irreverent and provocative with your programming Picture Quote #1

I left school at 16 and my mother got me a job as a trainee wine taster. But one day I followed some girls into St Martin’s art school and saw a voluptuous woman sitting on a stool being sketched. I decided to get myself fired Picture Quote #1

I always feel more comfortable in chaotic surroundings. I don’t know why that is. I think order is dull. There is something about this kind of desire for order, particularly in Anglo Saxon cultures, that drive out this ability for the streets to become a really exotic, amorphous, chaotic, organic place where ideas can, basically, develop Picture Quote #1

What are the politics of boredom? Picture Quote #1

Be childish. Be irresponsible. Be disrespectful. Be everything this society hates Picture Quote #1

Don’t kill the golden goose Picture Quote #1

There are two rules I’ve always tried to live by: turn left, if you’re supposed to turn right; go through any door that you’re not supposed to enter. It’s the only way to fight your way through to any kind of authentic feeling in a world beset by fakery Picture Quote #1

Punk’s influence on music, movies, art, design and fashion is no longer in doubt. It is used as the measurement for what is cool Picture Quote #1

What matters is this: Being fearless of failure arms you to break the rules. In doing so, you may change the culture and just possibly, for a moment, change life itself Picture Quote #1

To be a flamboyant failure, that’s better than being any kind of benign success Picture Quote #1

I think if it doesn’t do what I say, if it doesn’t do what I want, if it isn’t politically subversive, if it isn’t sexy, if it isn’t stylish to make all that happen then it isn’t truthfully worth listening to Picture Quote #1

Our culture has become something that is completely and utterly in love with its parent. It’s become a notion of boredom that is bought and sold, where nothing will happen except that people will become more and more terrified of tomorrow, because the new continues to look old, and the old will always look cute Picture Quote #1

Rock and roll doesn’t necessarily mean a band. It doesn’t mean a singer, and it doesn’t mean a lyric, really. It’s that question of trying to be immortal Picture Quote #1

I was taught that to create anything you had to believe in failure, simply because you had to be prepared to go through an idea without any fear. Failure, you learned, as I did in art school, to be a wonderful thing. It allowed you to get up in the morning and take the pillow off your head Picture Quote #1
