Iggy PopI try to beat back the producers and engineers so they - there's not an excess of stuff used to squeeze my voice to make it artificial. There's a person in there, and people will listen; if they hear another person speak to them, they'll listen because it's lonely out here.

I know that sounds like no big deal. But I saw a gigantic holographic Buddha โ correct in every way! Buddhas can be very intricate โ these drawings that you see in books.

And I thought, Wow โ the power of the mind, you know?
