Patti Smith
Image
I'm an intuitive musician. I have no real technical skills. I can only play six chords on the guitar.
Patti Smith
Image
I think its very important that we enjoy our life, that we get everything we can out of it.
Patti Smith
Image
Good news doesn't necessarily have to be a positive thing. Bringing good news is imparting hope to one's fellow man.
Patti Smith
Image
I've written a lot of prose. I just haven't published it.
Patti Smith
Image
If we keep our little flame alive, our first feeling of enthusiasm of who we are, without the influence or intervention of others, we will prevail.
Patti Smith
Image
People say hello to me. I mean, sometimes the sanitation truck goes by and says, hey Patti.
Patti Smith
Image
I always wrote like rock 'n' roll. And I always listen to rock 'n' roll as poetry.
Patti Smith
Image
Sometimes I get lost in watching a film. The sorrow, or the frustration, is when it doesn't happen for a long time.
Patti Smith
Image
The thing I've always liked about performing is that I decide what I want to wear, whether I want to comb my hair.
