More From Patti Smith

He was jimi hendrix! he didn't sound like anybody else but himself. he was like charlie parker in his way of playing, he played well, he was a person that made waves. when you heard jimi hendrix you knew it was jimi hendrix, he introduced himself in his instrument... you know, many radio stations play records and a lot of the times they don't call out the names who you just listened to, but when they play jimi hendrix, you don't have to tell me, [you know] it's jimi hendrix.

I say i'm jimi hendrix, jim morrison, janis joplin all wrapped up into one. if i die early ... i'll be just like those guys.

The white man supports reverend martin luther king, subsidizes reverend martin luther king, so that reverend martin luther king can continue to teach the negroes to be defenseless - that's what you mean by nonviolent - be defenseless in the face of one of the most cruel beasts that has ever taken people into captivity - that's this american white man, and they have proved it throughout the country by the police dogs and the police clubs.

I'm not martin luther king. i can't be martin luther king. the only thing i can do is present what i feel the essence of martin luther king is.

I remember thinking that janis joplin sang like mae west talked. when i first heard the primal scream in 'piece of my heart,' i was hooked. 'cheap thrills,' janis 'live' with big brother and the holding company, was one of my all time faves. during the 'whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa's' in 'combination of two,' i couldn't help but go to the mirror and pretend i was a wild woman like janis, in a rock band.

You're never going to see the fat elvis in me. people i admired like janis joplin, jimi hendrix and john belushi all died at 27. i've got jeans older than that.
