Patti Smith : (5)

" Hopefully if you create something fine, people will relate to it, so you’re communicating with people, and you’re not in a void. On the other hand, because you’re always creating and transforming, art always separates you – always. " - Patti Smith

" It was always my belief that rock and roll belonged in the hands of the people, not rock stars. " - Patti Smith

" Sometimes you’re doing really well, then, after three or four years, everything inexplicably crashes like a house of cards and you have to rebuild it. It’s not like you get to a point where you’re all right for the rest of your life. " - Patti Smith

" The thing is that as you grow through life, the pursuit of art and the pursuit of new ideas, all these things keeps your mind elastic. " - Patti Smith

" It’s no secret – I love detective fiction. One of the reasons I love being in London is because I like to watch all the shows on TV. I watch them all. I like ‘Detective Frost.’ " - Patti Smith
