More quotes by Lou Reed
The music business doesn't interest me anymore.
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
Between thought and expression lies a lifetime.
Lou Reed
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
It always bothers me to see people writing RIP when a person dies. It just feels so insincere and like a cop out. To me, RIP is the microwave dinner of posthumous honours.
Lou Reed
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
If someone teaches you alignment and - I'm not a tai chi expert by any stretch - so interviewing me about tai chi is kind of the cart before the horse - but just from my point of view as a student, it's simply that Master Ren can show you the relationship of power, stance and form.
Lou Reed
I like mindless disco... they say the lyrics are stupid and repetitious. So what's wrong with that? So is lying in the sun. Not everything has to be serious.
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
As the dead rise to live, the live sink to die, the currents are deep and raging inside.
Lou Reed
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
The most important thing is work.
Lou Reed
There were lots of things that I recognized from my experience with Eagle Claw and Wu Hao, and here was the combination of the whole kit and kaboodle, the whole tamale in one.
Lou Reed
Any human being should have a tolerance for anybody.
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 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
Life is like Sanskrit read to a pony.
Lou Reed
I think life is far too short to concentrate on your past. I rather look into the future.
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
I cleaned up my act because otherwise I would have kicked the bucket.
Lou Reed
