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
I like druggy downtown kids who spray paint walls and trains. I like their lack of training, their primitive technique. I think it hurts you, when you stay too long in school.
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

Lou Reed
I don't like the word rock opera, but I'm trying to write on that level that's reserved for plays still, or novels.
Lou Reed
The only thing constantly changing is change, and change is always changing for the worse.
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
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 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
If it has more than three chords, it's jazz.
Lou Reed
