More quotes by 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
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
Jealousy endlessly eats through my mind, and jealously endlessly makes me be unkind.
Lou Reed
When I record an album I'm trying to get as close as possible to that perfect moment.
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
It always bothers me to see people writing RIP when a person dies. It just feels so insincere and like a cop out. To me, RIP is the microwave dinner of posthumous honours.
Lou Reed
Psychologically, it's better that I think that I'm dirt.
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
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.
Lou Reed
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
Life is like Sanskrit read to a pony.
Lou Reed
I'd harbored hopes that the intelligence that once inhabited novels or films would ingest rock. I was, perhaps, wrong.
Lou Reed
The most important thing is work.
Lou Reed
And no kinds of love are better than others
Lou Reed
When I saw that combination of grace and power, the fast and the soft, the yin and the yang, that's what I'd been looking for.
Lou Reed
I think it's important that people don't feel alone.
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
Honey, I'm a cocksucker, what are you?
Lou Reed
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
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
