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
When critics ask you if you feel vindicated by other critics - I didn't like critics then, and I don't like them now. There you go. I've always been outside the mainstream, and it stayed that way.
Lou Reed
Life's like a mayonnaise soda.
Lou Reed
I don't think anybody is anybody else's moral compass. Maybe listening to my music is not the best idea if you live a very constricted life. Or maybe it is.
Lou Reed
She never ever lost her head even when she was giving head.
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
To debate political objectives, views, and goals is the most American thing conceivable.
Lou Reed
It's fun to be in a small club and to be able to look somebody right in the eye and watch them just freak. Then it's fun to be in front of thousands of people and watch a couple of hundred freaking out of their minds.
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
I think it's pretentious to create art just for the sake of stroking the artists ego.
Lou Reed
I think that everything happens for a reason, everything happens when it's going to happen.
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
Perfect Night is minimalistic and that's what makes it so forceful.
Lou Reed
Don't the people you're around shape the music, is that what you're saying? Everything does.
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
I'm tearing down Route 80 East, the sun's on my right side. I'm drunk, but my vision's good.
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
Honey, I'm a cocksucker, what are you?
Lou Reed
I've made love to my mother, killed my father, and my brother. What am I to do?
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
