More quotes by Patti Smith
As I grew up, one of my strongest allies has been my sister.
Patti Smith
I've always had a desire to write something and capture people's imagination like Peter Pan had captured mine.
Patti Smith
I'm not really a nostalgic person.
Patti Smith
I'm very comfortable with being a female now but when I was a little kid I only wanted to be a boy. I didn't want to be a girl. I didn't feel like a man inside... being a boy was just cooler.
Patti Smith
People called me the godmother of punk, but I never name myself anything.
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
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 taking drugs or drinking. I was working and working and working. But I wasn't writing anything.
Patti Smith
I just like living in certain atmospheres. Or I just like people as they are.
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 always know that everything I do is the best I could do.
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 don't think the area of Jerusalem should be part of a Jewish state it belongs to all people, to Christians and Muslims and the Jewish people.
Patti Smith
I had this idea that the coolest thing that could happen to you was talking with God.
Patti Smith
You can't carve up the world. It's not a pie.
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
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 have great respect for my parents. I got such beautiful things from both of them. It doesn't mean that we didn't have our rough times, but they were remarkable people who were open-minded, creative and hard-working, and had great senses of humor.
Patti Smith
I have disciplined myself when I'm working. When I discovered art, I realized that one could keep that search going within creation. But I also realize that in order to create the art, you have to stay, you can't go too far.
Patti Smith
[Steven Sebring] presence was also nice for my children, who, having just lost their father, quite naturally craved warm male attention. They gravitated to him right away.
