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
But it's the things that preceded it that made that happen, and of course now someone like me thinks, well, if I can do that... then there are a lot of other things that are possible.
Lou Reed
She never ever lost her head even when she was giving head.
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 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
