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.

I can concentrate on my art.
Lou Reed
Image
With Master Ren, if I'd tell him I can't do that and he'd say, yes you can, and it turns out I very much can do it.
Lou Reed

Any human being should have a tolerance for anybody.

Life's like a mayonnaise soda.
Lou Reed

It's the music that kept us all intact, kept us from going crazy.
Lou Reed

Writhe and sway to music's pain searing with asides, caress death with a lover's touch for it shall be your bride.

People can vote for who ever they want. That doesn't mean I have to go near them.
