More quotes by 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
When I record an album I'm trying to get as close as possible to that perfect moment.
Lou Reed
That's why I survived because I still believe I've got something to say.
Lou Reed

Caroline says as she gets up from the floor, you can hit me all you want to, but I don't love you anymore.
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
Any human being should have a tolerance for anybody.
Lou Reed
To wish for the crazy times one last time and freeze it in the memory of a camera is the least a great artist can do.
Lou Reed
I don't think anybody is anybody else's moral compass.
Lou Reed
My week beats your year.
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
I mean, there are peripheral things I do, I do photography, I write plays, I have books published, but that's neither here not there.
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
If someone teaches you alignment and - I'm not a tai chi expert by any stretch - so interviewing me about tai chi is kind of the cart before the horse - but just from my point of view as a student, it's simply that Master Ren can show you the relationship of power, stance and form.
Lou Reed
Perfect Night is minimalistic and that's what makes it so forceful.
Lou Reed
