More quotes by Lou Reed
When he beat my mother it made me so mad.
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 think life is far too short to concentrate on your past. I rather look into the future.
Lou Reed
The gay people know where I'm at. Straight people may not know where I'm at, but they find it kind of interesting when they show up and see what is sitting around them.
Lou Reed
I like mindless disco... they say the lyrics are stupid and repetitious. So what's wrong with that? So is lying in the sun. Not everything has to be serious.
Lou Reed
Jealousy endlessly eats through my mind, and jealously endlessly makes me be unkind.
Lou Reed
Valium would have helped that bash.
Lou Reed
Bodily changes take place, like the thing with the kick.
Lou Reed
I'm too old to do things by half
Lou Reed

Lou Reed
I'm not leaving New York. And neither is anyone else. We're here. We are quintessential Americans - we're not only American, but New York-American.
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
I wanna hear some Diana Ross, I wanna hear some Marvin Gaye. I wanna hear a song that reminds me of a better day.
Lou Reed
Teach them about anger, the sin that comes with dawning. Teach them about flowers, and the beauty of forgiveness.
Lou Reed
I don't believe in dressing up reality. I don't believe in using makeup to make things look smoother.
Lou Reed
All I want to do, is write rock and roll that you could listen to as you got older, and it wouldn't lose anything it would be timeless, in the subject matter and the literacy of the lyrics.
Lou Reed
I'd harbored hopes that the intelligence that once inhabited novels or films would ingest rock. I was, perhaps, wrong.
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.
Lou Reed
I've made love to my mother, killed my father, and my brother. What am I to do?
Lou Reed
All the people have gone to war leaving no interrogator to mind.
Lou Reed
