Iggy Pop's quotes
- [on modern music] The most successful stuff is sold to you as indispensable social information. The message in the music is, 'We are terribly, terribly slick and suave, and if you listen to us, you can probably get a leg up in society, too.'
- [in 1977] Punk rock is a word used by dilettantes and heartless manipulators about music that takes up the energies, the bodies, the hearts, the souls, the time and the minds of young men who give everything they have to it.
- [on his band The Stooges] That band could kill any band at the time and frankly can just kill any bands that built on this work since...just eat any of those poodles.
- [on Canadian Television in 1977] I don't know Johnny Rotten [John Lydon], but I'm sure he puts as much blood and sweat into what he does as Sigmund Freud did.
- [when asked by Dinah Shore what influenced his music] The industrialism in Detroit...what I heard walking around...boom boom bah - 10 cars...boom boom bah - 20 cars...I get a lot of my influence from the electric shaver...
- Onstage, I've been hit by a grapefruit, beer cans, eggs, spit, money, cigarette butts, mandies, Quaaludes, joints, panties, and a fist.
- Studios are like hospitals. A lot of people check in and they don't check out.
- [on The Clash] Like the Clash were going to make the world politically correct for everybody's benefit - but only if you kept buying Clash records. I never really went for the righteousness.
- [on David Bowie] David's friendship was the light of my life. I never met such a brilliant person. He was the best there is.
- I am the Pas-sen-ger/ I ride and I ride/ I see the stars come out tonight/ I see the city's grim backside...
- [on describing his own music] It's intrusive music but only to squares. Only intrusive to squares. It's fun. It's for fun.
- I'm proud of everything I have ever done onstage. Everything.
