Lou Reed
First thing you learnis that you'vealways got to wait
Lou Reed
It's the music that kept us all intact, kept us from going crazy.
Lou Reed
My attitude is that you very rarely come in contact with someone of Master Ren's level, so every opportunity I could get to learn from him I wanted to do that.
Lou Reed
To debate political objectives, views, and goals is the most American thing conceivable.
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 can't tell the difference between wrong and right, are you laughing at me?
Lou Reed
Jealousy endlessly eats through my mind, and jealously endlessly makes me be unkind.
Lou Reed
I'm too old to do things by half
Lou Reed
