If I don't terrorize, I'm not Pop.
Iggy Pop
Miami's never been more than a spit from New York.
Iggy Pop
I'd come home from school alone with those teenage blues and I'd put on Frank Sinatra's It was a very good year. Here was this mature man singing about the cycle of his life, and as a kid I felt the emotions of it already. It has since been a touchstone for me whenever I want to experiment musically.
Iggy Pop
It's fair to say that I have a side that is prudent and a side that is not.
Iggy Pop
I don't think I'm lucky I think I have a tough constitution. That's a lot of it. And I've been wise enough to listen to other people. I was unconsciously cultivating as many straight friends as I could.
Iggy Pop

Iggy Pop
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.
Iggy Pop
What some people would call antics, I would just call a good show.
Iggy Pop
The 2 things I like the most are girls and loud noises.
Iggy Pop
Musical types tend to combine the burden of the author with the burden of the actor.
Iggy Pop
I always went in with a very specific idea of the sound I wanted, and once I'd recorded I'd try and make it sell as much as I could, but I only went in thinking of a sound I wanted. So, it's no surprise to me that he got the hit and I didn't. But what I realized was that he did dress it up nicely, and my god, he does sing on key well.
Iggy Pop
Look, you're here to see me, and I can't go on until my dealer is here, and he's waiting to be paid, so give me some money so I can fix up, and then you'll get your show.
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
I'm a travel enthusiast.
Iggy Pop
I'm not ashamed to dress like a woman because I don't think it's shameful to be a woman.
Iggy Pop
I'm bored, I'm the chairman of the board.
Iggy Pop
I like semi-torn-down places where I could get nestled in and get something done without anyone bothering me.
