More quotes by Patti Smith
I had a handful of records, but when I was 11 years old, I liked Puccini as much as Little Richard. They both made sense to me.
Patti Smith
It's not that I have compromised or anything, but it's always been important to me to take good care of myself and be a good example. I'm not much a role model in terms of hair care, though.
Patti Smith
Both of them were ahead of their time, but they didn't live long enough to see the time they were ahead of.
Patti Smith
The thing I've always liked about performing is that I decide what I want to wear, whether I want to comb my hair.
Patti Smith
People like beauty and purity. They pretend that's what it's all about.
Patti Smith
I always wear the same thing onstage.
Patti Smith
New generations have unprecedented power to make great changes. Take the music business for example. The new generations have toppled the music industry by file sharing, downloading, and Myspace. Rock 'n' roll belongs to the people.
Patti Smith
I find it painful when I'm without anything. But I work in multiple fields. If I can't write, I find myself taking photographs. I can go on the road and perform. But the most important thing for me is writing, and when I hit those walls, it's painful.
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
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
I never felt oppressed because of my gender. When I'm writing a poem or drawing, I'm not a female I'm an artist.
Patti Smith
I liked being on stage, I just didn't like the theatrical aspect of being in front of people.
Patti Smith
I wasn't taking drugs or drinking. I was working and working and working. But I wasn't writing anything.
Patti Smith
We were as Hansel and Gretel and we ventured out into the black forest of the world.
Patti Smith
I had this idea that the coolest thing that could happen to you was talking with God.
Patti Smith
I've always thrived on the encouragement of others.
Patti Smith
Remember, we are mortal, but poetry is not.
Patti Smith
I think masturbating is a really important function in art. People don't like to hear that kind of stuff, but it's true.
Patti Smith
Rock n' roll is dream soup, what's your brand?
Patti Smith
I wasn't a stranger to hard times. I used to read the Bible - well, I still do, but when I was young I read the Bible quite a bit.
Patti Smith
