More quotes by 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

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
Perfect Night is minimalistic and that's what makes it so forceful.
Lou Reed
Let's do what you fear most That from which you recoil But which still makes your eyes moist
Lou Reed
To debate political objectives, views, and goals is the most American thing conceivable.
Lou Reed
I'm an artist and that means I can be as egotistical as I want to be.
