Patti Smith

To be an artist — actually, to be a human being in these times — it’s all difficult. … What matters is to know what you want and pursue it.
Patti Smith
Image
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
Image
Put down your cell phones, put everything away, and feel your blood pulsing in you, feel your creative impulse, feel your own spirit, your heart, your mind. Feel the joy of being alive and free.

I know fashion is a material thing, but we live in a material world and I love clothes.
Patti Smith
Image
People say the media is feeding the public's hunger for celebrity news, but that's the drug pusher's mentality. I don't think anybody would be pining for news about Angelina Jolie's babies if it weren't being given to them in the first place.
Patti Smith
Image
I don't think people should do biopics of living people. I'm totally opposed to that.
Patti Smith
Image
Steven [Sebring] just fell in with my family life. He helped me wash the dishes and play with the kids. I could tell that he was a person who understood families.
Patti Smith
Image
In the period where I had to live the life of a citizen - a life where, like everybody else, I did tons of laundry and cleaned toilet bowls, changed hundreds of diapers and nursed children - I learned a lot.
Patti Smith
Image
[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.

I'm a worker. I do the work to communicate, and I want people to embrace it, and when they do I'm happy.
Patti Smith
Image
The new artists coming through were very materialistic and Hollywood, not so engaged in communication.

Finally, by the sea, where God is everywhere, I gradually calmed.
