More quotes by Lou Reed
I've become completely well adjusted to being a cult figure.
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
To debate political objectives, views, and goals is the most American thing conceivable.
Lou Reed
I'm not leaving New York. And neither is anyone else. We're here. We are quintessential Americans - we're not only American, but New York-American.
Lou Reed
Any human being should have a tolerance for anybody.
Lou Reed
The most important thing is work.
Lou Reed
I wanna hear some Diana Ross, I wanna hear some Marvin Gaye. I wanna hear a song that reminds me of a better day.

And no kinds of love are better than others
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
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
I dreamed that I was young and smart, and it was not a waste. I dreamed that there was a point of life, and to the human race.
Lou Reed
I don't believe in dressing up reality. I don't believe in using makeup to make things look smoother.
Lou Reed
What I really love is my scotch. It's the power, the power of positive drinking.
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
Eve kissed Able, that's how he got murdered by Cain.
Lou Reed
That's why I survived because I still believe I've got something to say.
Lou Reed
Well all tai chi has the martial aspect to it, a lot of people don't know, a lot of the teachers won't show it, or they do show it but you don't really learn it, what the application is.
Lou Reed
