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 POPThe 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 POPI never say never about anything.
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 POPPussy power’s pulling me down, down, down, down. When it’s there and I can’t have it, I get real real rabid.
IGGY POPYour skin starts itching once you buy that gimmick about something called love.
IGGY POPI’ll love you when my eyes are open, I’ll love you when my eyes are gone.

IGGY POPI’m glad I am crazy, it keeps me trying. I despise trendies, I know they’re lying.
IGGY POPWell, 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 POPReally good music isn’t just to be heard, you know? It’s almost like a hallucination
IGGY POPThere are no pimps, no whores, no transvestites – gone. Now that’s more the culture I’m comfortable in … I don’t like it in the house, you know what I mean, but I like it somewhere around.
