More quotes by Lou Reed
It's just a temporary thing.
Lou Reed
One chord is fine. Two chords are pushing it. Three chords and you're into jazz.
Lou Reed
Over what guilty spirit to not hear the beating, to not hear the beating, but only tears of perfect moan, only tears of perfect moan.
Lou Reed
That's why I survived because I still believe I've got something to say.
Lou Reed
I'd harbored hopes that the intelligence that once inhabited novels or films would ingest rock. I was, perhaps, wrong.
Lou Reed
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.
Lou Reed
I wish I had a talking book that told me how to act and look, a talking book that contained keys to past and present memories
Lou Reed
The most important thing is work.
Lou Reed
The music is all. People should die for it. People are dying for everything else, so why not the music?
Lou Reed
I have no control over the audience. I have no idea what they think. My heart's pure. I can't do anything. I really can't do anything. I don't know what goes on in the crowd.
Lou Reed
People can vote for who ever they want. That doesn't mean I have to go near them.
Lou Reed

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
I like mindless disco... they say the lyrics are stupid and repetitious. So what's wrong with that? So is lying in the sun. Not everything has to be serious.
Lou Reed
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
When critics ask you if you feel vindicated by other critics - I didn't like critics then, and I don't like them now. There you go. I've always been outside the mainstream, and it stayed that way.
Lou Reed
Life is like Sanskrit read to a pony.
Lou Reed
What I really love is my scotch. It's the power, the power of positive drinking.
Lou Reed
I don't think anybody is anybody else's moral compass.
Lou Reed
Meditation doesn't have to be complicated. What I do is about as simple as you can get. You could just count the beads, one, two, three, with your eyes closed or open, whatever makes you happy.
Lou Reed
