The Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame was a great idea when it started, but I think they ought to close it, I think it’s full.
IGGY POPThe Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame was a great idea when it started, but I think they ought to close it, I think it’s full.
IGGY POPAnd it’s a – it’s a term that’s based on contempt; it’s a term that’s based on fashion, style, elitism, satanism, and, everything that’s rotten about rock ‘n’ roll.
IGGY POPMiami’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 POPI like semi-torn-down places where I could get nestled in and get something done without anyone bothering me.
IGGY POPWhat some people would call antics, I would just call a good show.
IGGY POPCurious is a good thing to be, it seems to pay some unexpected dividends.
IGGY POPI never say never about anything.
IGGY POPIf you give a good performance, something that gets some feeling across to people, that’s such a rare gift. It’s underestimated at this point in history, when the music biz is inevitably turning into a kind of politics.

IGGY POPStages are getting higher and higher, and I’m getting older and older.
IGGY POPYou know, I’m fifty-two now and I call myself a singer. Before I kick it I want to be able to carry a tune in a living room if called upon. Of course, mine come out all dark and twisted and weird.
IGGY POPI never believed that U2 wanted to save the whales. I don’t believe that The Beastie Boys are ready to lay it down for Tibet.
IGGY POPMusic is life, and life is not a business.
IGGY POPI’m not a singer, a walking instrument like Aretha Franklin. When you get an Iggy Pop record, you don’t get “Iggy Sings.” I am also a style of music, an approach.
IGGY POPI’ll love you when my eyes are open, I’ll love you when my eyes are gone.
