More quotes by Lou Reed
I think that everything happens for a reason, everything happens when it's going to happen.
Lou Reed
I've found that from my point of view, the Chen style contained many things that I knew on a fairly superficial level from Eagle Claw, and that had Chen elements of what seemed to me the soft in Eagle Claw.
Lou Reed
You're a musician: You play. That's what you do.
Lou Reed
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
You're going to reap just what you sow
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
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
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
It's depressing when you're still around and your albums are out of print.
Lou Reed

Lou Reed
I can't tell the difference between wrong and right, are you laughing at me?
Lou Reed
Let's do what you fear most That from which you recoil But which still makes your eyes moist
Lou Reed
My God is rock'n'roll. It's an obscure power that can change your life. The most important part of my religion is to play guitar.
Lou Reed
I think it's important that people don't feel alone.
Lou Reed
The sickness of the mother runs on through the girl, leaving her small and helpless. Liquor flies through her brain with the force of a gun, leaving her running in circles.
Lou Reed
I'd harbored hopes that the intelligence that once inhabited novels or films would ingest rock. I was, perhaps, wrong.
Lou Reed
Don't the people you're around shape the music, is that what you're saying? Everything does.
Lou Reed
The music is all. People should die for it. People are dying for everything else, so why not the music?
Lou Reed
My week beats your year.
Lou Reed
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.
Lou Reed
