More quotes by Lou Reed
When I saw that combination of grace and power, the fast and the soft, the yin and the yang, that's what I'd been looking for.
Lou Reed
It always bothers me to see people writing RIP when a person dies. It just feels so insincere and like a cop out. To me, RIP is the microwave dinner of posthumous honours.
Lou Reed
I love Ornette Coleman. I love Don Cherry. I love the way those guys play.
Lou Reed
What I really love is my scotch. It's the power, the power of positive drinking.
Lou Reed

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
Teach them about anger, the sin that comes with dawning. Teach them about flowers, and the beauty of forgiveness.
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
It's the music that kept us all intact, kept us from going crazy.
Lou Reed
My attitude is that you very rarely come in contact with someone of Master Ren's level, so every opportunity I could get to learn from him I wanted to do that.
Lou Reed
To debate political objectives, views, and goals is the most American thing conceivable.
Lou Reed
As the dead rise to live, the live sink to die, the currents are deep and raging inside.
Lou Reed
