The key to The Doors is the culture behind the myth.

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.

The key to The Doors is the culture behind the myth.

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

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

There was a time when I wanted to get out of the Western world. I went down to Grenada and looked at a place, and I realised that if I lived in a Grenadian manner I'd be nothing but a blah. I'm going to need constant bodyguarding, guns and money to join the community there. Otherwise you just got a bunch of fat, old white people dying together, overeating, drinking. Not very attractive.

How am I going to listen to that horrible noise I make without a gram of coke and a couple of double Jack Daniels?
