More quotes by Lou Reed
I love Ornette Coleman. I love Don Cherry. I love the way those guys play.
Lou Reed
To wish for the crazy times one last time and freeze it in the memory of a camera is the least a great artist can do.
Lou Reed
Bodily changes take place, like the thing with the kick.
Lou Reed
I like druggy downtown kids who spray paint walls and trains. I like their lack of training, their primitive technique. I think it hurts you, when you stay too long in school.
Lou Reed
You know, when you're relaxed, you're putting it out there, and then it comes, oh, I can do that.
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
Valium would have helped that bash.
Lou Reed

I don't believe in dressing up reality. I don't believe in using makeup to make things look smoother.
Lou Reed
Jealousy endlessly eats through my mind, and jealously endlessly makes me be unkind.
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
But I found tai chi when I was studying with Leung Shum, who teaches Eagle Claw and Wu Hao.
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.
Lou Reed
And no kinds of love are better than others
Lou Reed
I'll tell ya, I'm a genuinely nice guy. I really am. A real nice guy. But I think I'm temperamental.
Lou Reed
All the people have gone to war leaving no interrogator to mind.
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
Teach them about anger, the sin that comes with dawning. Teach them about flowers, and the beauty of forgiveness.
Lou Reed
I think life is far too short to concentrate on your past. I rather look into the future.
Lou Reed
I think that everything happens for a reason, everything happens when it's going to happen.
Lou Reed
