Art school had taught me it was far better to be a flamboyant failure than any kind of benign success. – Malcolm Mclaren
Punks influence on music, movies, art, design and fashion is no longer in doubt. It is used as the measurement for what is cool. – Malcolm Mclaren
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. – Malcolm Mclaren
I always said punk was an attitude. It was never about having a Mohican haircut or wearing a ripped T-shirt. It was all about destruction, and the creative potential within that. – Malcolm Mclaren
