When I get up in the morning, I stay nude for three or four hours. If I really feel like getting formal, I'll put on board shorts.

More quotes by 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
I am the passenger, I stay under glass. I look through my window so bright, I see the stars come out tonight. I see the bright and hollow sky, over the city's ripped backsides and everything looks good tonight.
Iggy Pop
Miami's not anybody's poor cousin. It's an aspiration to live in this town, not something you have to do to promote yourself like some of the larger cities.
Iggy Pop
I'm a street walking cheetah with a heart full of napalm.
Iggy Pop
I find it hard to focus looking forward. So I look backward.
Iggy Pop
Punk rock is a word used by dilettantes and heartless manipulators about music that takes up the energies, the bodies, the hearts, the souls, the time and the minds of young men who give everything they have to it.
Iggy Pop
Studios are like hospitals. A lot of people check in, and they don't check out.
Iggy Pop
The most successful stuff is sold to you as indispensable social information. The message in the music is, 'We are terribly, terribly slick and suave, and if you listen to us, you can probably get a leg up in society, too.'
Iggy Pop
What some people would call antics, I would just call a good show.
Iggy Pop
It's fair to say that I have a side that is prudent and a side that is not.
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
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.
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
What do you do with a lifetime of work? Face it in the morning.
Iggy Pop
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.
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
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.
Iggy Pop
I like semi-torn-down places where I could get nestled in and get something done without anyone bothering me.
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 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
