It's just a temporary thing.
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
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.

You do what you love, or you get arrested.

I don't think anybody is anybody else's moral compass. Maybe listening to my music is not the best idea if you live a very constricted life. Or maybe it is.
Lou Reed
Image
Writhe and sway to music's pain searing with asides, caress death with a lover's touch for it shall be your bride.

Valium would have helped that bash.

Image
You won't see my parents honored on any stamps.
Lou Reed
Image
When I record an album I'm trying to get as close as possible to that perfect moment.
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
The only thing constantly changing is change, and change is always changing for the worse.
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
Don't the people you're around shape the music, is that what you're saying? Everything does.
Lou Reed

I can concentrate on my art.
