Let's do what you fear most That from which you recoil But which still makes your eyes moist
Lou Reed

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
I am bigger and stronger than ever. My Chen Taiji and health regimen has served me well all of these years, thanks to Master Ren Guang-yi. I look forward to being on stage performing, and writing more songs to connect with your hearts and spirits and the universe well into the future.

You won't see my parents honored on any stamps.
Lou Reed
You can't beat two guitars, bass, and drums.
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
You're going to reap just what you sow
Lou Reed
Bodily changes take place, like the thing with the kick.
Lou Reed
Perfect Night is minimalistic and that's what makes it so forceful.

Jealousy endlessly eats through my mind, and jealously endlessly makes me be unkind.
