From Lou Reed
Some even claim that I'm a terror, a dictator and they're right.
The music is all. People should die for it. People are dying for everything else, so why not the music?
I don't know what goes on in the crowd. I've had them show up and throw beer cans at me. I caused riots in most of the major cities.
You're a musician: You play. That's what you do.
I can't do anything I want to. I mean, I can't have my own TV show. I can't have my own movie. But within my little world, nobody tells me what to put on the albums.
You can't beat two guitars, bass, and drums.
I've become completely well adjusted to being a cult figure.
I'm writing about real things. Real people. Real characters. You have to believe what I write about is true or you wouldn't pay any attention at all. Sometimes it's me, or a composite of me and other people. Sometimes it's not me at all.
I've never been super confident about anything. The work is never as good as it could be.
