"All of us at the Factory were very taken with Nico. She was just this fascinating creature who was totally nonflamboyant, nonpretentious, but absolutely magnetically controlling. And she didn’t wear all the hippie flowers, she just wore these black pantsuits, or white pantsuits - a real Nordic beauty. She was just too much, really, let me tell you, so anything we could think of to have her play a role in our scene, that’s what we were gonna do. We wanted her to have a starring role in what we were doing, and since she was a chanteuse, Paul Morissey thought it would be great to have her sing with the Velvets - which of course was the most wrong thing you could say to them at that point in their development." ▼
