1. "We're not into music. We're into chaos." ~ Steve Jones
2. "Sex must be important as it is so expensive." ~ Steve Jones
3. "Too often, the notion of progress is used as a code word for perfection, the chain of being in a different guise. The term should be employed with caution. Some see an arrow of time in biology, as in physics, but in the opposite direction- a relentless tendency to improve, just as a universe has a built-in trend towards chaos and disorder. That is too optimistic. Some lineages get more complicated, some simpler, and much of life has to struggle to stay in the same place. If everyone is evolving, nobody can afford to stop, and there may be constant change with no overall advance at all." ~ Steve Jones
4. "Evolution is no more than the perpetuation of error." ~ Steve Jones
5. "Karl Marx, himself a denizen of one of the most congested of all London districts, was equally impressed by the dismal conditions of the new proletariat. he sent Darwin a copy of 'Das Kapital' (which was found unread after his death)." ~ Steve Jones
6. "I'm tired of Glen Matlock saying he was the songwriter for the Sex Pistols. I co-wrote as many songs... but I don't go shouting about it." ~ Steve Jones
7. "I might do a solo album, maybe do covers, or do an acoustic thing. No Sex Pistols tours, nothing!" ~ Steve Jones
8. "The Sex Pistols was a part of my life. Just a small part." ~ Steve Jones
9. "When I was in the Sex Pistols, I listened to Boston. But I couldn't tell anybody, you know. I'd get lynched." ~ Steve Jones
10. "My very first gig was with the Sex Pistols, and it was also our first-ever gig. It was a very short set, and it was at Saint Martins College of Art in 1975. We were opening up for a band called Bazooka Joe, and their bass player at the time was Adam Ant, who went on to form Adam and the Ants." ~ Steve Jones
11. "I like documentaries; I watch the Soccer Channel; I like the Military Channel." ~ Steve Jones
12. "I love '50s music, all that stuff from the '50s." ~ Steve Jones
13. "I'm pretty much an isolated person. I'd rather stay home and play video games." ~ Steve Jones
14. "I wasn't planning on being a guitar player; I was going to be a singer. And I was for a little bit in the Sex Pistols - that is, until we got John Lydon. And then I realized I wasn't really suited as a front guy." ~ Steve Jones
15. "In '77 there was no Internet, there was no Twitter or Facebook, and I think that, without being some old git who hates anything new, people's attention spans are too short. Back then you had 'Top Of The Pops' and 'Melody Maker,' and you had to make the effort to go to a show so that you absorbed the culture of music." ~ Steve Jones
16. "It's not every day you get to create a band like the Sex Pistols, and what it changed, on a musical level. I love that we've done something that was important." ~ Steve Jones
17. "I live in Beverly Hills and I'm proud of it. The only things I miss are pie and mash shops and football games. I've lived in America longer than I lived in England. When I first got here, it just felt right to me. I like the open space, and the weather's great." ~ Steve Jones
18. "I never read. I've never read one book... I just can't do it. Something's wrong with me. I have what they call now is 'ADD,' like I'll read and all of a sudden I'll be thinking about shopping or... I'm not there. I drift off. I get crazy, so I don't even bother." ~ Steve Jones
19. "I produced the Buckcherry album and I just finished a band called American Pearl on Wind-Up Records. That's Creed's label. They're pretty rocking. Now I'm looking for another band to produce." ~ Steve Jones
20. "I still like to play the guitar, but I rarely have anything to do with the music business these days. I mean, there is no music business anymore, is there?" ~ Steve Jones
21. "To the question of whether sharing 96% of our genetic make-up with chimps makes us 96 percent chimp; we also share about 50% of our DNA with bananas - that does not make us half bananas!" ~ Steve Jones
22. "Biologists have an adolescent fascination with sex. Like teenagers they are embarrassed by the subject because of their ignorance." ~ Steve Jones
23. "The meaning of sex is illustrated by two eponymous heroes of British history, King Edward VII (who flourished in the years before the First World War) and the King Edward variety of potato which has fed the British working class for almost as long). The potato, unlike the royal family, reproduces asexually. Every King Edward potato is identical to every other and each on has the same set of genes as the hoary ancestor of all potatoes bearing that name. This is convenient for the farmer and the grocer, which is why sex is not encouraged among potatoes." ~ Steve Jones

Today's Quote

The bookseller handed me the book and winked."Have a good look at it, little dumpling. I don't want you coming back to me saying I've switched it, eh?""I trust you," I said."Stuff and nonsense. The last guy who said that to me (a tourist who was convinced that Hemingway had invented the fabada stew during the San Fermín bull run) bought a copy of Hamlet signed by Shakespeare in ballpoint, imagine that. So keep your eyes peeled. In the book business, you can't even trust the index."
