Quotes about: love

Oh, I love bios! I wouldn't say traditionally it was a concept album. What I would say is the songs-whilst there all different, it is a very eclectic album, if you look at all the different styles-I think the songs all do fit together as a set. It's probably the most complete album we've made for many years.

Am I willing to give up what I have in order to be what I am not yet? Am I able to follow the spirit of love into the desert? It is a frightening and sacred moment. There is no return. One's life is charged forever. It is the fire that gives us our shape.

More quotes by Johnny Rotten
The desire for the creation to exist - not for a return on investment, not for what it may say about you, but for the love of the thing, the creation, itself. One creates music because we love it enough to make it happen. The reason you would create anything is because you love it enough to see it exist.
