More quotes by Lou Reed
When I record an album I'm trying to get as close as possible to that perfect moment.
Lou Reed
Some people drink to unleash their libidos, and other people drink to prop up their egos.
Lou Reed
I dreamed that I was young and smart, and it was not a waste. I dreamed that there was a point of life, and to the human race.
Lou Reed
I've never been super confident about anything. The work is never as good as it could be.
Lou Reed
Don't the people you're around shape the music, is that what you're saying? Everything does.
Lou Reed
The music business doesn't interest me anymore.
Lou Reed
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
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
To wish for the crazy times one last time and freeze it in the memory of a camera is the least a great artist can do.
Lou Reed
You know, when you're relaxed, you're putting it out there, and then it comes, oh, I can do that.
Lou Reed
Meditation doesn't have to be complicated. What I do is about as simple as you can get. You could just count the beads, one, two, three, with your eyes closed or open, whatever makes you happy.
Lou Reed
Teach them about anger, the sin that comes with dawning. Teach them about flowers, and the beauty of forgiveness.
Lou Reed
I'm an artist and that means I can be as egotistical as I want to be.
Lou Reed
How can anybody learn anything from an artwork when the piece of art only reflects the vanity of the artist and not reality?
Lou Reed
Over what guilty spirit to not hear the beating, to not hear the beating, but only tears of perfect moan, only tears of perfect moan.
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 love Ornette Coleman. I love Don Cherry. I love the way those guys play.
Lou Reed
You can't beat two guitars, bass, and drums.
Lou Reed
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
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
