More quotes by 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
The film [Dream of Life] looks at a time in my life.
Patti Smith
I believe myself to be an artist. That was my calling, to do my work, and what's most important to me is to do the best work I possibly can. And that is what means the most, that is what will endure.
Patti Smith
My mission is to communicate, to wake people up, to give them my energy and accept theirs. We're all in it together, and I respond emotionally as a worker, a mother, an artist, and a human being with a voice. We all have a voice. We have the responsibility to exercise it, to use it.
Patti Smith
The things I thought would happen didn't. Things I never anticipated unfolded.
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
It will not fall away. Man cannot judge it. For art sings of God, and ultimately belongs to Him.
Patti Smith
Within that moment was trust, compassion, and our mutual sense of irony. He was carrying death within him and I was carrying life. We were both aware of that, I know.
Patti Smith
Swift is the arrow, dark is the thorn, the slate is clean, the future awaits, awake.
Patti Smith
I'm not really a nostalgic person.
Patti Smith
I love my little overgrown yard. And my house is wonderful. It's everything that I need.
Patti Smith
I have vague memories, like impressions on glass plates.
Patti Smith
I don't think people should do biopics of living people. I'm totally opposed to that.
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
Nothing is a hobby - each discipline is its own world with its own high standards. Of course, every artist has 'minor works' that they do, but I don't think I have any 'minor disciplines.'
Patti Smith
We tried not to age, but time had its rage.
Patti Smith
Paths that cross will cross again
Patti Smith
What I say should always be prefaced with this: I'm not really politically articulate. I just try to be like Thomas Paine: what is common sense? So when I say these things to you, I am speaking from a humanist point of view. I just look around and see what's wrong.
Patti Smith
I don't wear makeup. I can't stand nothin' on my face. It's a phobia. It's not a platform.
Patti Smith
I wanted to see who this Yeats person was, and I said to my mother, 'I want a book by this person.' And she bought it for me, and a lot of it was over my head, but I had it.
Patti Smith
