Lou Reed
Image
The music is all. People should die for it. People are dying for everything else, so why not the music?
Lou Reed
Image
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.

Caroline says as she gets up from the floor, you can hit me all you want to, but I don't love you anymore.
Lou Reed
Image
The most important part of my religion is to play guitar.
Lou Reed
Image
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
Image
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
Image
What I really love is my scotch. It's the power, the power of positive drinking.
Lou Reed
Image
I've never been super confident about anything. The work is never as good as it could be.
Lou Reed
Image
I can concentrate on my art.
