I'm writing about real things. Real people. Real characters. You have to believe what I write about is true or you wouldn't pay any attention at all.
Lou Reed
Image
But it's not only: What are you going to do about touring, it's: What are you going to do with your life? Is there a point to what we do? I think there is. Making music, creating beautiful things. We have to be in love with the good and the beautiful. If we are not, then you're in a nihilistic state.

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
Image
I like druggy downtown kids who spray paint walls and trains. I like their lack of training, their primitive technique. I think it hurts you, when you stay too long in school.
Lou Reed
Image
I've made love to my mother, killed my father, and my brother. What am I to do?
Lou Reed
Image
Well all tai chi has the martial aspect to it, a lot of people don't know, a lot of the teachers won't show it, or they do show it but you don't really learn it, what the application is.

Some people drink to unleash their libidos, and other people drink to prop up their egos.
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
Image
I think life is far too short to concentrate on your past. I rather look into the future.

Honey, I'm a cocksucker, what are you?
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.

It's fun to be in a small club and to be able to look somebody right in the eye and watch them just freak. Then it's fun to be in front of thousands of people and watch a couple of hundred freaking out of their minds.
