More quotes by Patti Smith
When I was young, I knew William Burroughs really well. And William's secret desire, which he never quite did, was to write a straightforward detective novel.
Patti Smith
Ultimately, we are not seeking others to bow to, but to reinforce our individual natures, to help us suffer our own choices, to guide us on our own particular journeys.
Patti Smith
For me, personally, I think drugs are sacred and should be used for work. That's what I believe in. Drugs have a real shamanistic value. I can handle drugs. I've never had a problem.
Patti Smith
I wasn't thinking so much of music. I wasnt thinking so much of perfection or stardom or any of that stuff.
Patti Smith
I think the film [Dream of Life] is life-affirming.
Patti Smith
I loved books I read my childhood away. I was more interested in my interior world.
Patti Smith

Patti Smith
Maybe I'll be 48 and die in the gutter in Paris.
Patti Smith
I just like living in certain atmospheres. Or I just like people as they are.
Patti Smith
Will you pretend you're my boyfriend?
Patti Smith
I was always a tomboy as a kid. I always had boyfriends. I was just a regular girl growing up in the late '50s and early '60s, but I was never really attracted to what the girls were attracted to: makeup, my appearance, homemaking.
Patti Smith
I've always had a desire to write something and capture people's imagination like Peter Pan had captured mine.
Patti Smith
First of all, anybody who has lasted 30 and went through the 60's is really a survivor.
Patti Smith
Outside of society, if you're looking that's where you'll find me.
Patti Smith
If someone didn't want to be filmed, or my children said, Don't film me anymore, [Steven Sebring] didn't try to sneak a shot or cajole them he just respected their wishes.
Patti Smith
I've lost many, many friends through natural causes, through alcohol, through drugs, through AIDS. And every time I lose a friend or a loved one, it reminds me how great life is.
Patti Smith
With the death of Robert Mapplethorpe, I had lost my main collaborator in taking photographs. So I didn't know who to work with.
Patti Smith
I had a really happy childhood - my siblings were great, my mother was very fanciful, and I loved to read. But there was always financial strife.
Patti Smith
I think its very important that we enjoy our life, that we get everything we can out of it.
Patti Smith
For life is the best thing we have in this existence. And if we should desire to believe in something, it should be a beacon within. This beacon being the sun, sea, and sky, our children, our work, our companions and, most simply put, the embodiment of love.
Patti Smith
