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.

More quotes by 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
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
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
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'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.

Something I like to do a lot is just sit by water when there’s a current and just stare into the water. I don’t fish, I don’t hunt, I don’t scuba, I don’t spear, don’t boat, don’t play basketball or football – I excel at staring into space. I’m really good at that.
Iggy Pop
I was a pretty nice kid. Kind of quiet, but quiet in terms I wasn't going out and setting fire to anything. I had a big mouth and I was creative type, you know.
Iggy Pop
The future of rock n roll is Justin Bieber.
Iggy Pop
Sex may be a little more factual than love. You know whether it's good or bad. You know whether you liked it or not. You're not going to change your mind about it ten years later.
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
I never say never about anything.
Iggy Pop
How am I going to listen to that horrible noise I make without a gram of coke and a couple of double Jack Daniels?
Iggy Pop
What some people would call antics, I would just call a good show.
Iggy Pop
I think that all the years of exposure to amps and electricity has altered my body chemistry.
Iggy Pop
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.
Iggy Pop
What did Christ really do? He hung out with hard-drinking fishermen.
Iggy Pop
Musical types tend to combine the burden of the author with the burden of the actor.
Iggy Pop
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
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.
