I'm not ashamed to dress "like a woman" because I don't think it's shameful to be a woman.

I'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.

It's more fun to look at an old picture of me than it is to look at a new one sometimes. Although, I still wear a dress pretty well.

Cigarettes and coffee, man, that's a combination.

Studios are like hospitals. A lot of people check in, and they don't check out.

I thought, "Wow, it sounds really stoned anyway." It sounded good to me. I found out that there was a lot in there. What all this comes down to is I was just trying to get in touch with myself. And I met some interesting people in New York who weren't in show business. I even got to know my dentist.

If I had to depend on what I actually get from sales, I'd be tending bar between sets.
