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
You can't beat two guitars, bass, and drums.
Lou Reed
I love Ornette Coleman. I love Don Cherry. I love the way those guys play.
Lou Reed
All the people have gone to war leaving no interrogator to mind.
