Even the most high-maintenance boss isn’t going to sit and watch you the whole time, making sure you’re paying attention to them, whereas with a child, it’s like, ‘Wait, what?

– Jimmy Fallon

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.’
