More quotes by Patti Smith
I like energy. I like to feel it cracklin', I like sexual energy in a room, and I like tension.
Patti Smith
The moment of creative impulse is what an artist gives you. You look at a Pollock, and it can't give you the tools to do a painting like that yourself, but in doing the work, Pollock shares with you the moment of creative impulse that drove him to do that work.
Patti Smith
I've always had a desire to write something and capture people's imagination like Peter Pan had captured mine.
Patti Smith
Wisdom was a teapot, pouring from above. Desolation angels, served it up with love.
Patti Smith
Life is an adventure of our own design intersected by fate and a series of lucky and unlucky accidents.
Patti Smith
I don't feel that censorship keeps me from doing the work, though. I'm my bigger censor.
Patti Smith
Why can't I write something that would awake the dead? That pursuit is what burns most deeply.
Patti Smith
Remember, we are mortal, but poetry is not.
Patti Smith
Steven [Sebring] just fell in with my family life. He helped me wash the dishes and play with the kids. I could tell that he was a person who understood families.
Patti Smith
My mission is to communicate, to wake people up, just to give them my energy and accept theirs.
Patti Smith
I like photographing dresses in windows. I actually wore a lot of dresses in the '70s. I like them on other people now.
Patti Smith
If your label won't let you have the cover you want or sing the songs you want, then leave!
Patti Smith
I still don't want to be put in the feminist bag. I'm a humanist.
Patti Smith
People came at me with all sorts of offers, wanting to make me into a hard-core Cher. I had no desire for any amount of money to be reformed for someone's vision, because in the end, that's what you got: your clay in someone else's hands.
Patti Smith
[Steven Sebring] presence was also nice for my children, who, having just lost their father, quite naturally craved warm male attention. They gravitated to him right away.
Patti Smith
I had this idea that the coolest thing that could happen to you was talking with God.
Patti Smith
I've written a lot of prose. I just haven't published it.
Patti Smith
My mother had no end of tragedy in her life. She would make herself get up and take a deep breath and go out and do laundry. Hang up sheets.
Patti Smith
I think its very important that we enjoy our life, that we get everything we can out of it.
Patti Smith
As a child I was such an intense daydreamer I could be so gone that I had to be smacked to come back. They were really worried that I had some kind of catatonia or something because I would go so far out. Because all I wanted to do was talk to god as a child.
Patti Smith
