More quotes by Patti Smith
The two things that constantly inspired me were books and travel.
Patti Smith
To me, punk rock is the freedom to create, freedom to be successful, freedom to not be successful, freedom to be who you are. It's freedom.
Patti Smith
I gave you a wrist watch, baby, and you wouldn't even give me the time of day.
Patti Smith
I'm an intuitive musician. I have no real technical skills. I can only play six chords on the guitar.
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
As an artist, I used to think that my responsibility was to do good work. But I had to learn from the 70s on that being a public figure presents another aspect of responsibility.
Patti Smith
When I was a teenager, I dreamed of being an opera singer like Maria Callas or a jazz singer like June Christy or Chris Connor, or approaching songs with the kind of mystical lethargy of Billie Holiday, or championing the downtrodden like Lotte Lenya. But I never dreamed of singing in a rock-and-roll band.
Patti Smith
Sometimes [people] seem to think I came out of the womb, you know, cursing, with an electric guitar.
Patti Smith
More than anything that's been the thread through my life - the desire to write, the impulse to write. I mean, it's taken me other places, but it was the impulse to write that led me to singing.
Patti Smith
My sunglasses are like my guitar.
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
The artist seeks contact with his intuitive sense of the gods, but in order to create his work, he cannot stay in this seductive and incorporeal realm. He must return to the material world in order to do his work. It's the artist's responsibility to balance mystical communication and the labor of creation.
Patti Smith
A lullaby should be timeless because it's a timeless concept - the birth of the child.
Patti Smith
An artist may have burdens the ordinary citizen doesn't know, but the ordinary citizen has burdens that many artists never even touch.
Patti Smith
One thing I like about getting older is things, your spectrum widens, your capacity for compassion widens.
Patti Smith
My father came a couple of times, but he always blamed his hearing loss on my loud amplifiers. So he didn't come anymore, but I had his support.
Patti Smith
I got over the loss of his desk and chair, but never the desire to produce a string of words more precious than the emeralds of Cortés.
Patti Smith
I have abandoned so many projects but in the '80s when I left public life to be married and have real children - I love my children and I would never sacrifice them for anything - I had to find a way to simultaneously be a mother and wife and fulfill my duties and still be true to myself as a writer.
Patti Smith
I wish I could just project everything on the paper.
Patti Smith
I was so horny in school it felt like my body was filled with electricity. I felt like I had neon bones or something.
Patti Smith
