“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“I'm deeper than the shit I'm in and I don't really give a damn.”
Iggy Pop, The Complete Lyrics of Iggy Pop 1969-1999“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“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“My mom was a saint. She taught me to be terminally nice.”
Iggy Pop“I'm a travel enthusiast.”
Iggy Pop“I like music that's more offensive. I like it to sound like nails on a blackboard, get me wild.”
Iggy Pop“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'm not ashamed to dress "like a woman" because I don't think it's shameful to be a woman.”
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 Need More“And then I notice the music flooding out of every part of the apartment at once — the couch, the walls, even the floor — and I know Bennies alone in Lou’s studio, pouring music down around us. A minute ago it was “Don’t Let Me Down”. Then it was Blondie’s “Heart of Glass”. Now it’s Iggy Pop’s “The Passenger”. Listening, I think, You will never know how much I understand you.”
