Lou Reed Quotes
I'm too old to do things by half. If it has more than three chords, it's jazz. 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. Life is like Sanskrit read to a pony. Me, I've concentrated on music pretty much to the exclusion of other things. Music was what bothered me, what interested me. My God is rock'n'roll. One of my rules is: Never listen to your old stuff. Perfect Night has that magic and it has the raw energy that grabs you by the throat. Perfect Night is minimalistic and that's what makes it so forceful. Some even claim that I'm a terror, a dictator and they're right. Take a walk on the wild side. That's why I survived because I still believe I've got something to say. The most important part of my religion is to play guitar. The music business doesn't interest me anymore. There's a bit of magic in everything, and some loss to even things out. There's only X amount of time. You can do whatever you want with that time. It's your time. These are really terribly rough times, and we really should try to be as nice to each other as possible. When I record an album I'm trying to get as close as possible to that perfect moment. You can't ask me to explain the lyrics because I won't do it.
