I kinda feel like everything comes full circle in life, even though that’s a cliche.
IGGY POPI kinda feel like everything comes full circle in life, even though that’s a cliche.
IGGY POPI never say never about anything.
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 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 POPWell, I don’t use the toilet much to pee in. I almost always pee in the yard or the garden, because I like to pee on my estate.
IGGY POPIf I don’t terrorize, I’m not Pop.
IGGY POPI like semi-torn-down places where I could get nestled in and get something done without anyone bothering me.
IGGY POPI’m glad I am crazy, it keeps me trying. I despise trendies, I know they’re lying.

IGGY POPMusic is life, and life is not a business.
IGGY POPI 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 POPI stare at myself in the mirror and I think, ‘Wow, I’m really great-looking.’… I think I’m the greatest, anyway.
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.
