I'm a little bit damaged in about 15 different ways, and it's been nice that no particular damaged area has become a major issue. I'm a more than moderately healthy 65-year-old male who has gotten away with a lot of stuff.

More quotes by Iggy Pop
I feel a great comfort and relief knowing that there are others who lived and died and thought and fought so long ago I feel less tyrannized by the present day.
Iggy Pop
Second only to the sea, the Miami sky has been the greatest comfort in my life past 50. On a good day, when the wind blows from the south, the light here is diffuse and forgiving.
Iggy Pop
If I had to depend on what I actually get from sales, I'd be tending bar between sets.
Iggy Pop
And for so long, I had thought if I was going to write a song, or get into something, I had to at least smoke a joint or something. And that didn't work anymore. Once I was fairly well cleaned out, even a little bit of a drug getting into my work threw me off kilter.
Iggy Pop
I have a hot memory, but I know I've forgotten many things, too, just squashed things in favor of survival.
Iggy Pop
The future of rock n roll is Justin Bieber.
Iggy Pop
The Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame was a great idea when it started, but I think they ought to close it, I think it's full.
Iggy Pop
I try to beat back the producers and engineers so they - there's not an excess of stuff used to squeeze my voice to make it artificial. There's a person in there, and people will listen if they hear another person speak to them, they'll listen because it's lonely out here.
Iggy Pop
It's more fun to look at an old picture of me than it is to look at a new one sometimes. Although, I still wear a dress pretty well.
Iggy Pop
I thought, Wow, it sounds really stoned anyway. It sounded good to me. I found out that there was a lot in there. What all this comes down to is I was just trying to get in touch with myself. And I met some interesting people in New York who weren't in show business. I even got to know my dentist.
Iggy Pop
I think that all the years of exposure to amps and electricity has altered my body chemistry.
Iggy Pop
It's fair to say that I have a side that is prudent and a side that is not.
Iggy Pop
I'm bored, I'm the chairman of the board.
Iggy Pop
The 2 things I like the most are girls and loud noises.
Iggy Pop
Onstage I've been hit by a grapefruit, beercans, eggs, spit, money, cigarette butts, Mandies, Quaaludes, joints, bras, panties, and a fist.
Iggy Pop
I'm not the kind of person that likes to be dependent.
Iggy Pop
I never say never about anything.
Iggy Pop
Well, it wasn't like I was going to run out and score heroin and score an ounce of coke - but incidentally, on the road, I would usually get tanked up and as stoned as I possibly could to go on stage. And offstage, it would be a demon that would come up about twice a week.
Iggy Pop
At university, I had been obsessed with reading about the lives of Rimbaud and Baudelaire, and I was steeped in the crazy poets, and I came to view my early subjects through that prism.
Iggy Pop
I'm not the kind of person who could join AA or have rules for myself or on Thursday take this vitamin pill. So, basically, I learned the hard way. I learned by trial and error, and tried to get drugs out of my work. That took about a year. If I was going to work, it was best that I be straight. And I was surprised at what came out.
