The music business doesn't interest me anymore.
Lou Reed

As you practice things, you get better. I mean I've worked very hard on changing my life and taking what is good about it and trying to jettison the things I think were not good about it. I think the key word is discipline, focus. I'm always working at it, but I'm not always successful.

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.

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
Image
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
Image
I tried to give up drugs by drinking.
Lou Reed
Image
I like mindless disco... they say the lyrics are stupid and repetitious. So what's wrong with that? So is lying in the sun. Not everything has to be serious.

You're going to reap just what you sow

Caroline says as she gets up from the floor, you can hit me all you want to, but I don't love you anymore.

To debate political objectives, views, and goals is the most American thing conceivable.

Eve kissed Able, that's how he got murdered by Cain.

People can vote for who ever they want. That doesn't mean I have to go near them.

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