It is very important what not to do.

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.

My parents wanted to light my artistic candle. But over time, the definition of 'the arts' began to stretch. And as I got older, they suddenly realized, Oh, my God, we're the parents of Iggy Pop.

It's fair to say that I have a side that is prudent and a side that is not.

The future of rock n roll is Justin Bieber.

I find it hard to focus looking forward. So I look backward.

I like music that's more offensive. I like it to sound like nails on a blackboard, get me wild.
