“It’s a mystery I’ve never solved. What is it that
drives me to perform when I can hardly hold my own at a dinner party?”—Singer-songwriter,
poet, and memoirist Patti Smith, on becoming a rock ‘n’ roll star, quoted in
John Heilpern, “Conversation: Out to Lunch With Patti Smith,” Vanity
Fair, November 2015
(The image accompanying this post, of Patti Smith
performing at New York’s Bowery Ballroom, was taken by her sister, Kimberly
Smith, on Dec. 31, 2007.)
