I'm A Travel Enthusiast.

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.

I'm Not The Kind Of Person Who Could Join Aa Or Have Rules For Myself Or On Thursday Take This Vitamin Pill. So, Basically, I Learned The Hard Way. I Learned By Trial And Error, And Tried To Get Drugs Out Of My Work. That Took About A Year. If I Was Going To Work, It Was Best That I Be Straight. And I Was Surprised At What Came Out.

I Always Went In With A Very Specific Idea Of The Sound I Wanted, And Once I'd Recorded I'd Try And Make It Sell As Much As I Could, But I Only Went In Thinking Of A Sound I Wanted. So, It's No Surprise To Me That He Got The Hit And I Didn't. But What I Realized Was That He Did Dress It Up Nicely, And My God, He Does Sing On Key Well.

I Wanted To Learn A Little Bit About Acting, Not Because I Thought I'd Find A Star Vehicle And Set The World On Fire, But I Thought The Discipline Of It Would Be Good For Me. I Met A Good Coach, And I Joined Her Class - With A Lot Of Hungry Young Actors Who Really Didn't Acre If I Was A Rock 'n' Roll Singer Or Not. I Started To Learn To Get A Focus, Without Having To Jump Up And Down Every Few Seconds.

The Nut Of The Thing Is That If What You Make Is Hard Like A Diamond, You Can Put It Anywhere. You Can Put It Up Your And It Will Still Be Beautiful.
