When I record an album I'm trying to get as close as possible to that perfect moment.
Lou Reed
Image
As you practice things, you get better. I mean I've worked very hard on changing my life and taking what is good about it and trying to jettison the things I think were not good about it. I think the key word is discipline, focus. I'm always working at it, but I'm not always successful.
Lou Reed
Image
It's the music that kept us all intact, kept us from going crazy.
Lou Reed
Image
She never ever lost her head even when she was giving head.
Lou Reed
Image
I like druggy downtown kids who spray paint walls and trains. I like their lack of training, their primitive technique. I think it hurts you, when you stay too long in school.
Lou Reed
Image
I think it's pretentious to create art just for the sake of stroking the artists ego.
Lou Reed

You're going to reap just what you sow
Lou Reed

You do what you love, or you get arrested.

Does anyone need yet another politician caught with his pants down and money sticking in his hole?
Lou Reed
Image
The only thing constantly changing is change, and change is always changing for the worse.
Lou Reed
Image
I don't know anyone actually who does care what a critic says.
Lou Reed
Image
My God is rock'n'roll. It's an obscure power that can change your life. The most important part of my religion is to play guitar.
Lou Reed
Image
I wanna hear some Diana Ross, I wanna hear some Marvin Gaye. I wanna hear a song that reminds me of a better day.
Lou Reed
Image
That's why I survived because I still believe I've got something to say.
Lou Reed
Image
I have no control over the audience. I have no idea what they think. My heart's pure. I can't do anything. I really can't do anything. I don't know what goes on in the crowd.
Lou Reed
Image
I don't mind a repetitive chorus I mind repetitive verse. I mean, it's the same amount of space. Why would you have only three diamonds if you can have six?
Lou Reed
Image
It's depressing when you're still around and your albums are out of print.
