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.

Look, you're here to see me, and I can't go on until my dealer is here, and he's waiting to be paid, so give me some money so I can fix up, and then you'll get your show.
Iggy Pop
Stages are getting higher and higher, and I'm getting older and older.
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.

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.

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

Iggy Pop
I'm a street walking cheetah with a heart full of napalm.
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
It's fair to say that I have a side that is prudent and a side that is not.
Iggy Pop
My mom was a saint. She taught me to be terminally nice.
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
Cigarettes and coffee, man, that's a combination.

Bowie's a real man, and I'm a real woman - just like Catherine Deneuve.
Iggy Pop
I'm a travel enthusiast.
Iggy Pop
The key to The Doors is the culture behind the myth.
Iggy Pop
I find it hard to focus looking forward. So I look backward.
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
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 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.
