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
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
At university, I had been obsessed with reading about the lives of Rimbaud and Baudelaire, and I was steeped in the crazy poets, and I came to view my early subjects through that prism.
Iggy Pop
I'm not the kind of person that likes to be dependent.
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 think that all the years of exposure to amps and electricity has altered my body chemistry.
Iggy Pop
I think that prosecuting some college kid because she shared a file is a lot like sending somebody to Australia 200 years ago for poaching his lordship's rabbit. That's how it must seem to poor people who just want to watch a crappy movie for free after they’ve been working themselves to death all day at Tesco or whatever, you know.
Iggy Pop
Onstage I've been hit by a grapefruit, beercans, eggs, spit, money, cigarette butts, Mandies, Quaaludes, joints, bras, panties, and a fist.
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
The 2 things I like the most are girls and loud noises.
Iggy Pop
When it comes to art, money is an unimportant detail. It just happens to be a huge unimportant detail.
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 bored, I'm the chairman of the board.
Iggy Pop
Second only to the sea, the Miami sky has been the greatest comfort in my life past 50. On a good day, when the wind blows from the south, the light here is diffuse and forgiving.
Iggy Pop
Stages are getting higher and higher, and I'm getting older and older.
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
Miami's never been more than a spit from New York.
Iggy Pop
It's fair to say that I have a side that is prudent and a side that is not.
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
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 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.
