More quotes by Patti Smith
I was so used to doing art that my fingers were like albino spiders. So it was just natural for me to go to a typewriter and write poetry.
Patti Smith
The two things that constantly inspired me were books and travel.
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
I like my time on earth. And no matter what kind of cards I've been dealt, I'm happy to be there.
Patti Smith
I don't think people should do biopics of living people. I'm totally opposed to that.
Patti Smith
I'm not really a nostalgic person.
Patti Smith
I got over the loss of his desk and chair, but never the desire to produce a string of words more precious than the emeralds of Cortés.
Patti Smith
I gave you a wrist watch, baby, and you wouldn't even give me the time of day.
Patti Smith
I don't feel that censorship keeps me from doing the work, though. I'm my bigger censor.
Patti Smith
Just because I've extricated myself from religion doesn't mean I'm not interested in the scriptures. I look at the Bible as itself. It's a holy book, it has incredible literature in it and beautiful poetry.
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
One of my great goals when I first started taking photographs or showing them publicly is that people might want one for over their desk. That's my goal.
Patti Smith
I have vague memories, like impressions on glass plates.
Patti Smith
I had this idea that the coolest thing that could happen to you was talking with God.
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
I'm from South Jersey: The idea of eating a roll with olive oil and anchovies or some kind of sardine and drinking mint tea definitely comes from reading Paul Bowles.
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
The truth is, no matter how modest Steven [Sebring] is, he was obsessed with the outcome of the film [Dream of Life]. Every single frame was important to him.
Patti Smith
I've written a lot of prose. I just haven't published it.
Patti Smith
I was always a tomboy as a kid. I always had boyfriends. I was just a regular girl growing up in the late '50s and early '60s, but I was never really attracted to what the girls were attracted to: makeup, my appearance, homemaking.
