My week beats your year.
Lou Reed
Image
If it has more than three chords, it's jazz.
Lou Reed
Image
I'm not joking around when I've said occasionally, trying to learn how to play a D chord properly has been a very big thing for me.
Lou Reed
Image
You can't ask me to explain the lyrics because I won't do it.
Lou Reed
Image
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
Image
To debate political objectives, views, and goals is the most American thing conceivable.
Lou Reed
Image
I think it's pretentious to create art just for the sake of stroking the artists ego.
Lou Reed
Image
That's why I survived because I still believe I've got something to say.
Lou Reed
Image
I can't tell the difference between wrong and right, are you laughing at me?
Lou Reed
Image
I don't mind a repetitive chorus I mind repetitive verse. I mean, it's the same amount of space. Why would you have only three diamonds if you can have six?
Lou Reed
Image

Image
I've found that from my point of view, the Chen style contained many things that I knew on a fairly superficial level from Eagle Claw, and that had Chen elements of what seemed to me the soft in Eagle Claw.
Lou Reed
Image
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
Image
I try very much, whenever I do projects, whatever it is, there's only one thing on my mind, only one thing.
Lou Reed
Image
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
Image
It's fun to be in a small club and to be able to look somebody right in the eye and watch them just freak. Then it's fun to be in front of thousands of people and watch a couple of hundred freaking out of their minds.
Lou Reed
Image
Moving on has allowed me to know who I am and to be present in all that I do. I take this forward in my work and in my personal relationships. It is a powerful program and I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to move on with their life.
Lou Reed
Image
I'm tearing down Route 80 East, the sun's on my right side. I'm drunk, but my vision's good.
Lou Reed
Image
Between thought and expression lies a lifetime.
Lou Reed
Image
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.
