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.

More quotes by 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
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
I can concentrate on my art.
Lou Reed
My week beats your year.
Lou Reed
I've become completely well adjusted to being a cult figure.
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
Music should come crashing out of your speakers and grab you, and the lyrics should challenge whatever preconceived notions that listener has.
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'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
You know, when you're relaxed, you're putting it out there, and then it comes, oh, I can do that.
Lou Reed
In the late '70s I started to search for the perfect sound - whatever that might be, before that I was mainly interested in drugs, insanity and the rock'n'roll lifestyle.
Lou Reed
I don't mind a repetitive chorus I mind repetitive verse. I mean, it's the same amount of space. Why would you have only three diamonds if you can have six?
Lou Reed
Eve kissed Able, that's how he got murdered by Cain.
Lou Reed
Between thought and expression lies a lifetime.
Lou Reed
Valium would have helped that bash.
Lou Reed
Some people drink to unleash their libidos, and other people drink to prop up their egos.
Lou Reed
I wanted to be an actor. That was my real goal. But I wasn't any good at it, so I wrote my own material and acted through that. That's my idea of fun. I get to be all these things in the songs.
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 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
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
