The more walking-around money I have, the less I walk around.

The people who were learning from me tended to be more commercial performers who were gonna rip off the salient idea to do it in a way that will sell, but they weren't going for the music.

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

I kinda feel like everything comes full circle in life, even though that's a cliche.

I think that all the years of exposure to amps and electricity has altered my body chemistry.

I became Iggy because I had a sadistic boss at a record store. I'd been in a band called the Iguanas. And when this boss wanted to embarrass and demean me, he'd say, 'Iggy, get me a coffee, light.'

As society has changed, what had formerly been unacceptable has become colorful.
