More quotes by Iggy Pop
I've probably been spit on more that any person alive outside of, I would say, a member of the prison system.
Iggy Pop
I'm a travel enthusiast.
Iggy Pop
What did Christ really do? He hung out with hard-drinking fishermen.
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
You know what I think you get scared of more - especially me, after touring for so long and being in bands for so long - you start to associate certain behavior with the music. It's like people associate having a cigarette with having a cup of coffee, or lunch.
Iggy Pop
I find it hard to focus looking forward. So I look backward.
Iggy Pop
My mom was a saint. She taught me to be terminally nice.
Iggy Pop
Bowie's a real man, and I'm a real woman - just like Catherine Deneuve.
Iggy Pop
What do you do with a lifetime of work? Face it in the morning.
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
I stayed in L.A. long enough to get on my feet, and then I moved back to New York. The reason I moved here was that I don't feel warm outside of a city it's too barren in the suburbs, and L.A. is a suburb. Here, it felt active.
Iggy Pop
Life is just a bag of pot.
Iggy Pop
Studios are like hospitals. A lot of people check in, and they don't check out.
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.
Iggy Pop
My general take on American music since 1969 is that it's just getting stiffer and people are getting more uptight - audience, performance, and palace guard.
Iggy Pop
It's fair to say that I have a side that is prudent and a side that is not.
Iggy Pop
If I don't terrorize, I'm not Pop.
Iggy Pop
I think that all the years of exposure to amps and electricity has altered my body chemistry.
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 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.
