I think people are too hard on the Pistols. The Pistols started the whole punk thing and never saw much money.

Gavin Rossdale

At 12, turned 13, made a movie with Sex Pistols and The Clash. Learned about a lot of things I never knew and hope will never know again. Don't know how my parents let me do that.

Laura Dern

We're Sex Pistols, we ain't fake.

John Lydon

I saw the Sex Pistols, and they were terrible.

Bernard Sumner

No one ever sounded like The Slits or looked like them, no matter how many people tried it, or were influenced by it. It's impossible. You can't recreate that. There will never be another Sex Pistols. There will never be another Clash.

Ari Up

I liked the Sex Pistols' music. I thought it was superb.

Jimmy Page

I always felt there was kind of a millennial aspect to The Sex Pistols.

Julien Temple

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

I think in that context, when a generation of kids is that ignorant of their recent history, it does a good job of showing what the Pistols were standing for. It's current and it's in the air, partly because I think nothing contemporary is as extreme or as strongly stated as what The Sex Pistols were able to do in their time, in the '70s. I think the reason to [make the film] is that their ideas are still alive: the defense of the right to be an individual, and questioning everything you read, and questioning all the information that's bombarded increasingly at you.

Julien Temple

We feel we're the only British group worth exporting since the Sex Pistols, definitely.
