More quotes by Lou Reed
I mean, there are peripheral things I do, I do photography, I write plays, I have books published, but that's neither here not there.
Lou Reed
I would like to live to a ripe old age and raise watermelons in Wyoming.
Lou Reed
I'm not leaving New York. And neither is anyone else. We're here. We are quintessential Americans - we're not only American, but New York-American.
Lou Reed
That's why I survived because I still believe I've got something to say.
Lou Reed
In the late '70s I started to search for the perfect sound - whatever that might be, before that I was mainly interested in drugs, insanity and the rock'n'roll lifestyle.
Lou Reed
There were lots of things that I recognized from my experience with Eagle Claw and Wu Hao, and here was the combination of the whole kit and kaboodle, the whole tamale in one.
Lou Reed
I'd harbored hopes that the intelligence that once inhabited novels or films would ingest rock. I was, perhaps, wrong.
Lou Reed
I've made love to my mother, killed my father, and my brother. What am I to do?
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 don't know anyone actually who does care what a critic says.
Lou Reed
I think it's pretentious to create art just for the sake of stroking the artists ego.
Lou Reed
One chord is fine. Two chords are pushing it. Three chords and you're into jazz.
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
All I want to do, is write rock and roll that you could listen to as you got older, and it wouldn't lose anything it would be timeless, in the subject matter and the literacy of the lyrics.
Lou Reed
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.
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
I tried to give up drugs by drinking.
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
Bodily changes take place, like the thing with the kick.
Lou Reed
