The film [Dream of Life] is the way it is because it was the rhythm of my life, and also because the director and the editor are both gifted and both fine human beings.

More quotes by Patti Smith
My mother answers all my fan mail.
Patti Smith
Sometimes you have to abandon your own children for other children.
Patti Smith
I had gone to Paris to immerse myself in painting and I came back wholly involved in words and rhythms.
Patti Smith
I remember when you were born, it was dawn and the storm settled near my belly. And I rolled in the grass and spit out the gas, and I lit a match and the void went flash. And the sky split and the planets hit, balls of jade dropped and existence stopped.
Patti Smith
Committing great work does not necessarily feed you.
Patti Smith
Christianity made us think there's one heaven.
Patti Smith
For life is the best thing we have in this existence. And if we should desire to believe in something, it should be a beacon within. This beacon being the sun, sea, and sky, our children, our work, our companions and, most simply put, the embodiment of love.
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 imagined myself as Frida to Diego, both muse and maker. I dreamed of meeting an artist to love and support and work with side by side.
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
Love is an angel disguised as lust.
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 was so involved in my boy-rhythms that I never came to grips with the fact that I was a girl. I was twelve years old when my mother took me inside and said, You can't be outside wrestling without a T-shirt on. It was a trauma.
Patti Smith
I had a really happy childhood - my siblings were great, my mother was very fanciful, and I loved to read. But there was always financial strife.
Patti Smith
It will not fall away. Man cannot judge it. For art sings of God, and ultimately belongs to Him.
Patti Smith
I'm a total failure at housewifery. I always have been, 'cause I daydream too much. If I start doing the dishes at one in the afternoon, I'll still be there at six in the evening.
Patti Smith
Pollution is a necessary result of the inability of man to reform and transform waste.
Patti Smith
By the time I was 10 or 11, I was completely demoralized. I thought, I'm done. I'm never going to be a missionary, because my indiscretion column, whether it was little lies or stealing a Chunky bar, kept me from sainthood.
Patti Smith
I learned from him that often contradiction is the clearest way to truth
Patti Smith
Words are just rules and regulations to me.
Patti Smith
