More quotes by Patti Smith
I have vague memories, like impressions on glass plates.
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 think its very important to not be afraid to experience joy in the middle of sorrow.
Patti Smith
I've always had a desire to write something and capture people's imagination like Peter Pan had captured mine.
Patti Smith
Remember, we are mortal, but poetry is not.
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
Talking to god and coming back because that's what we have to do. That's your responsibility as a director, as an artist, as a performer. Your responsibility is back again to your people.
Patti Smith
Since I was a child, I hated having to deal with my hair. I hated having to change my clothes. As a kid, I had a sailor shirt and the same old corduroy pants, and that's what I wanted to wear everyday.
Patti Smith
We believe we will raise the sky, we got to fly over the land, over the sea. Fate unwinds and if we die, souls arise. God, do not seize me please.
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 really don't want somebody writing something positive about me if they don't believe in it. I'd rather somebody write something real mean. I like reading bad stuff, it gets me excited. In fact, the only reviews I keep are the bad ones 'cause I think they're the cool ones.
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
Look at Obama - he is now [2015] trying to help us environmentally but he should have done it eight years ago. He's trying to salvage his legacy and trying to do something good but we needed for him to show leadership from day one.
Patti Smith
The new artists coming through were very materialistic and Hollywood, not so engaged in communication.
Patti Smith
Punk rock is just another word for freedom.
Patti Smith
I always know that everything I do is the best I could do.
Patti Smith
By the time I was 10 or 11, I was completely demoralized. I thought, I'm done. I'm never going to be a missionary, because my indiscretion column, whether it was little lies or stealing a Chunky bar, kept me from sainthood.
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 hate to be enclosed. I don't like bathroom doors - I don't shut them. In fact, in my house, I have no doors.
Patti Smith
I refuse to believe that Hendrix had the last possessed hand, that Joplin had the last drunken throat, that Morrison had the last enlightened mind.
Patti Smith
