believe generations looks
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.
sex successful pistols
I never intended for the Sex Pistols to be immeasurably successful.
punk youtube posts
I've always thought that gaming and YouTube and the web is a very post-punk extravaganza.
nursing cities shoes
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.
kings crazy adventure
I saw a picture of Elvis in blue lame, and thought that if I could recreate that suit and walk down the King's Road in it, someone might pick me up and take me off on a crazy adventure.
song stars attitude
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.
music sexy thinking
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.
girl mother art
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.
want noble break
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.
fashion art design
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.
young dies
Too fast to live, too young to die.
boredom
What are the politics of boredom?
trying junkie ifs
Try managing a junkie - especially if you've never been one yourself.
golden geese
Don't kill the golden goose.
