More quotes by Lou Reed
Well all tai chi has the martial aspect to it, a lot of people don't know, a lot of the teachers won't show it, or they do show it but you don't really learn it, what the application is.
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
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 don't believe in dressing up reality. I don't believe in using makeup to make things look smoother.
Lou Reed
It's depressing when you're still around and your albums are out of print.
Lou Reed
Honey, I'm a cocksucker, what are you?
Lou Reed
And I feel just like Jesus' son
Lou Reed
Life's like a mayonnaise soda.
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
I don't like the word rock opera, but I'm trying to write on that level that's reserved for plays still, or novels.
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'm an artist and that means I can be as egotistical as I want to be.
Lou Reed
