More quotes by Patti Smith
Life is like a roller coaster. It's never going to be perfect - it is going to have perfect moments, and then rough spots, but it's all worth it.
Patti Smith
When I was a kid, I loved Sherlock Holmes. I'm not interested in crimes. I'm interested in the mind of the detective and his process, which to me is a lot like the artist.
Patti Smith
Paths that cross will cross again
Patti Smith
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
That's what artists do, that's what poets do - we all do it. We start with something, and sometimes we destroy everything that we've made in order to get to the core place where we started from.
Patti Smith
I don't think people should do biopics of living people. I'm totally opposed to that.
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
Outside of society, if you're looking that's where you'll find me.
Patti Smith
My father's mother was from Liverpool and she had this very beautiful English china. I only wanted to drink my cocoa out of my grandmother's cup and saucer.
Patti Smith
Fate is like a secret friend that helps push you on into life.
Patti Smith
I always enjoyed doing transgender songs.
Patti Smith
You don't want to OD on improvisation.
Patti Smith
I have loved books all my life. There is nothing more beautiful in our material world than the book.
Patti Smith
We're a culture more than ever that wants proof of everything, we want things fast, and someone sends you an email, you want to answer in five minutes. We have to allow ourselves nothingness, in our relationships too.
Patti Smith
My mother answers all my fan mail.
Patti Smith
People need space to air out their thoughts, to have a sense of themselves - unfettered by anything.
Patti Smith
I think guys are more emotional. Men are supposed to be the strong ones, they have pressure on them to be strong, but when it comes to sex men are much more emotional than women.
Patti Smith
Lets just say that I think any person who aspires, presumes, or feels the calling to be an artist has a built-in sense of duty.
Patti Smith
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.
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
