I like semi-torn-down places where I could get nestled in and get something done without anyone bothering me.
Iggy Pop

I thought that if I practiced doing melodies for a year or so at home, I would learn to think melodically, and when I went to work it would come out, and it did, on this album. What else was important to me...? I spend a lot of time in the grocery store, shopping.

When the 'godfather of punk' thing started floatin' around, it was, I was really, really embarrassed. I thought I should have a great, big rig and a cape and everything, and it was very embarrassing. And then after a while, you learn that if people call you anything, this is a great gift.

Studios are like hospitals. A lot of people check in, and they don't check out.

I'm a street walking cheetah with a heart full of napalm.

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.

Miami's never been more than a spit from New York.

When punk began to be a genre, people were going to go out and try to mine it. Some of the better groups, like the Ramones and the Sex Pistols, were very artificial.

I'm not ashamed to dress like a woman because I don't think it's shameful to be a woman.

I find it hard to focus looking forward. So I look backward.

I'm a travel enthusiast.

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.
