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

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.

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.

I think that all the years of exposure to amps and electricity has altered my body chemistry.

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.

It's fair to say that I have a side that is prudent and a side that is not.

What do you do with a lifetime of work? Face it in the morning.

I've probably been spit on more that any person alive outside of, I would say, a member of the prison system.

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.

If I had to depend on what I actually get from sales, I'd be tending bar between sets.

The 2 things I like the most are girls and loud noises.
Iggy Pop
Image
I like semi-torn-down places where I could get nestled in and get something done without anyone bothering me.
Iggy Pop
Image
I have a hot memory, but I know I've forgotten many things, too, just squashed things in favor of survival.
Iggy Pop
Image
I was who I was in high school in accordance with the rules of conduct for a normal person, like obeying your mom and dad. Then I got out of high school and moved out of the house, and I just started, for lack of a better term, running free.

I'm not the kind of person that likes to be dependent.

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.

Image
It's the same thing: I would think, If I can't go out and pull some teenager tonight, maybe I'm no good on stage anymore. And you start to think that you even need it as a motivation. I did, anyway.
Iggy Pop
Image
I find it hard to focus looking forward. So I look backward.

What some people would call antics, I would just call a good show.

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.
