Lou Reed
I am bigger and stronger than ever. My Chen Taiji and health regimen has served me well all of these years, thanks to Master Ren Guang-yi. I look forward to being on stage performing, and writing more songs to connect with your hearts and spirits and the universe well into the future.

Lou Reed
What I really love is my scotch. It's the power, the power of positive drinking.
Lou Reed
I'm writing about real things. Real people. Real characters. You have to believe what I write about is true or you wouldn't pay any attention at all.
Lou Reed
Bodily changes take place, like the thing with the kick.
Lou Reed
Don't the people you're around shape the music, is that what you're saying? Everything does.
Lou Reed
I don't like the word rock opera, but I'm trying to write on that level that's reserved for plays still, or novels.
Lou Reed
Teach them about anger, the sin that comes with dawning. Teach them about flowers, and the beauty of forgiveness.
Lou Reed
Let's do what you fear most That from which you recoil But which still makes your eyes moist
Lou Reed
