More quotes by Lou Reed
The most important part of my religion is to play guitar.
Lou Reed
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
Moving on has allowed me to know who I am and to be present in all that I do. I take this forward in my work and in my personal relationships. It is a powerful program and I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to move on with their life.
Lou Reed
I'm not leaving New York. And neither is anyone else. We're here. We are quintessential Americans - we're not only American, but New York-American.
Lou Reed
If it has more than three chords, it's jazz.
Lou Reed
But I found tai chi when I was studying with Leung Shum, who teaches Eagle Claw and Wu Hao.
Lou Reed
You can't beat two guitars, bass, and drums.
Lou Reed
Does anyone need yet another politician caught with his pants down and money sticking in his hole?
Lou Reed
I can't do anything I want to. I mean, I can't have my own TV show. I can't have my own movie. But within my little world, nobody tells me what to put on the albums.
Lou Reed
Speaking in a common tongue, speaking through guitars and drums.
Lou Reed
I've found that from my point of view, the Chen style contained many things that I knew on a fairly superficial level from Eagle Claw, and that had Chen elements of what seemed to me the soft in Eagle Claw.
Lou Reed
I try very much, whenever I do projects, whatever it is, there's only one thing on my mind, only one thing.
Lou Reed
Psychologically, it's better that I think that I'm dirt.
Lou Reed
You're a musician: You play. That's what you do.
Lou Reed
But it's not only: What are you going to do about touring, it's: What are you going to do with your life? Is there a point to what we do? I think there is. Making music, creating beautiful things. We have to be in love with the good and the beautiful. If we are not, then you're in a nihilistic state.
Lou Reed
I'll tell ya, I'm a genuinely nice guy. I really am. A real nice guy. But I think I'm temperamental.
Lou Reed
I mean, there are peripheral things I do, I do photography, I write plays, I have books published, but that's neither here not there.
Lou Reed
I don't believe in dressing up reality. I don't believe in using makeup to make things look smoother.
Lou Reed
Bodily changes take place, like the thing with the kick.
Lou Reed
I'm still not sure I didn't die
