More quotes by Patti Smith
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
We wanted, it seemed, what we already had, a lover and a friend to create with, side by side. To be loyal, yet be free.
Patti Smith
I'm pretty moral about what I do. If I didn't think I was worthy of doing something, I wouldn't do it. I ain't gonna waste a bunch of people's time.
Patti Smith
My mother answers all my fan mail.
Patti Smith
All I've ever wanted, since I was a child, was to do something wonderful.
Patti Smith
I'm not afraid of terrorism at all. I'm afraid of loss of our freedom, loss of mobility, loss of global comradeship.
Patti Smith
I was always trying to pick guys up. I'd ask guys out and stuff like that. I had no pride. I was the biggest lurch at dances, waiting for the ladies' choice. I'd lunge at my prey like a baby wolf.
Patti Smith
Outside of society, if you're looking that's where you'll find me.
Patti Smith
My style of performance poetry came from the beatniks, Allen Ginsberg.
Patti Smith
You can't carve up the world. It's not a pie.
Patti Smith
What I say should always be prefaced with this: I'm not really politically articulate. I just try to be like Thomas Paine: what is common sense? So when I say these things to you, I am speaking from a humanist point of view. I just look around and see what's wrong.
Patti Smith
Fate is like a secret friend that helps push you on into life.
Patti Smith
My sunglasses are like my guitar.
Patti Smith
What I've always tried to do is to express the highest point of me, and rock 'n' roll is the first and the most open form created by our generation. The cool thing about it is that you get the power, you get the rhythm you can be taken over sexually, you can be taken over cerebrally it's great to look at - it's a package deal.
Patti Smith
I didn't write about aspects of my public life because that's a small part of my life.
Patti Smith
I'm okay with roaming around the world in my bunk for days on end. Maybe every third day I'll get a shower or stumble out at dawn and realize I'm in a field in Poland. I like that kind of life.
Patti Smith
I've always thrived on the encouragement of others.
Patti Smith
Wisdom was a teapot, pouring from above. Desolation angels, served it up with love.
Patti Smith
Will you pretend you're my boyfriend?
Patti Smith
I was a lower middle-class kid. My family had no money. There was no room in our small house where there were already four kids, including myself, living.
