More quotes by 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
I find it hard to focus looking forward. So I look backward.
Iggy Pop
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.
Iggy Pop
Miami is nothing like me, and thats why I need to be here - its the opposite. Im practical, where this place is moody, Im stolid in my interior, where this place has a certain flair, and Im materialistic in a sense that this place is fundamentally spiritual - theres a quicksilver quality about this place.
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
I like semi-torn-down places where I could get nestled in and get something done without anyone bothering me.
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
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
When it comes to art, money is an unimportant detail. It just happens to be a huge unimportant detail.
Iggy Pop
Life is just a bag of pot.
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
I never say never about anything.
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'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 street walking cheetah with a heart full of napalm.
Iggy Pop
The key to The Doors is the culture behind the myth.
Iggy Pop
I'm bored, I'm the chairman of the board.
Iggy Pop
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.
Iggy Pop
I thought, Wow, it sounds really stoned anyway. It sounded good to me. I found out that there was a lot in there. What all this comes down to is I was just trying to get in touch with myself. And I met some interesting people in New York who weren't in show business. I even got to know my dentist.
Iggy Pop
Miami's never been more than a spit from New York.
