Iggy Quotes

It was so hard to talk about things. My life has been so normal for the last 20 years. It`s funny because I was so much a part of the scene. Debbie Harry and I stayed in touch for years. I have no regrets, Iggy sums it up in that song he wrote `Look Away`. It may sound horrifying, I`d been with him also when I was 13, but it wasn`t back then, it was all fun.

Some cats, Iggy Pop, they`re going to always have that hunger.
