Any human being should have a tolerance for anybody.
Lou Reed
I'm an artist and that means I can be as egotistical as I want to be.
Lou Reed
My God is rock'n'roll. It's an obscure power that can change your life. The most important part of my religion is to play guitar.
Lou Reed
It's fun to be in a small club and to be able to look somebody right in the eye and watch them just freak. Then it's fun to be in front of thousands of people and watch a couple of hundred freaking out of their minds.
Lou Reed

Lou Reed

Lou Reed
In the late '70s I started to search for the perfect sound - whatever that might be, before that I was mainly interested in drugs, insanity and the rock'n'roll lifestyle.
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
The gay people know where I'm at. Straight people may not know where I'm at, but they find it kind of interesting when they show up and see what is sitting around them.
Lou Reed
I don't think anybody is anybody else's moral compass.
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
I try very much, whenever I do projects, whatever it is, there's only one thing on my mind, only one thing.
Lou Reed
Between thought and expression lies a lifetime.
Lou Reed
The only thing constantly changing is change, and change is always changing for the worse.
Lou Reed
