Lou Reed
It's depressing when you're still around and your albums are out of print.
Lou Reed
How can anybody learn anything from an artwork when the piece of art only reflects the vanity of the artist and not reality?
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
You're a musician: You play. That's what you do.
Lou Reed
With Master Ren, if I'd tell him I can't do that and he'd say, yes you can, and it turns out I very much can do it.
