Lou Reed in "Blue in the Face"

"I feel pretty comfortable in New York.
I get scared like in Sweden.
It's kinda empty. They're all drunk, everything works...
If you stop at a stoplight and don't turn your engine off, people come over and talk to you about it, you go to the medicine cabinet and open and there will be a little post saying «In case of suicide, call...» (...) These things scare me.
New York, no."

Lou Reed (1942 - 2013)
