More quotes by Lou Reed
Psychologically, it's better that I think that I'm dirt.
Lou Reed
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.
Lou Reed
First thing you learnis that you'vealways got to wait
Lou Reed
Sound is more than just noise. Ordered sound is music. My life is music.
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 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
You do what you love, or you get arrested.
Lou Reed
Honey, I'm a cocksucker, what are you?
Lou Reed
I'm still not sure I didn't die
Lou Reed
When he beat my mother it made me so mad.
Lou Reed
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
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
You can't beat two guitars, bass, and drums.
Lou Reed
Speaking in a common tongue, speaking through guitars and drums.
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 don't think anybody is anybody else's moral compass. Maybe listening to my music is not the best idea if you live a very constricted life. Or maybe it is.
Lou Reed
I think it's pretentious to create art just for the sake of stroking the artists ego.
Lou Reed
Jealousy endlessly eats through my mind, and jealously endlessly makes me be unkind.
Lou Reed
Meditation doesn't have to be complicated. What I do is about as simple as you can get. You could just count the beads, one, two, three, with your eyes closed or open, whatever makes you happy.
Lou Reed
But it's the things that preceded it that made that happen, and of course now someone like me thinks, well, if I can do that... then there are a lot of other things that are possible.
Lou Reed
