I really feel concerned about young people within our present culture. our present culture, we have to change. change is inevitable and i wasn't raised in our present culture but it has great pressure that as a young person i never had. material pressure, social pressure, visual pressure, how you look, and i just try to appeal to young people to think for themselves, to be their own person, and to ask questions and also be very attentive to our planet and our environment.

More From Patti Smith

Every once and a while somebody writes a script, but even regardless of what age you are, most of the actors would all agree that it's all based upon material and the material has got to spark with you. it may be great material but you think it's great material for somebody else. or it's great material and i'm perfect for it. so, you just have to make that judgment and if you feel in the mood to do it.

It is only the dull, sleepy mind that creates and clings to habit. a mind that is attentive from moment to moment - attentive to what it is saying, attentive to the movement of its hands, of its thoughts, of its feelings - will discover that the formation of further habits has come to an end.

The advice i would give to any photographer - young, old or in-between - is to explore anything visual because this is, after all, how you express your artistry. look at paintings, movies, drawings, sculptures - look at anything visual and try to integrate that into your visual sense. after that, go out and take pictures and keep on taking pictures!

I'm concerned about a better world. i'm concerned about justice; i'm concerned about brotherhood; i'm concerned about truth. and when one is concerned about that, he can never advocate violence. for through violence you may murder a murderer, but you can't murder murder. through violence you may murder a liar, but you can't establish truth. through violence you may murder a hater, but you can't murder hate through violence. darkness cannot put out darkness; only light can do that.

I don't like the way most people think. it's imprecise. i find that when parents ask me questions, they ask very imprecise questions. they say, "my kid has behavioral problems at school." well, i have to say, "what kind of problems? is he hitting? is he rude? does he rock in class?" i need to narrow questions to specifics. i am very pragmatic and intellectual, not emotional. i do get great satisfaction when a parent says, "i read your book, and it really helped me."

I just don't feel that we've traveled very far in the realm of social equality. there just seems to be a little bit of unrest. and sometimes i think that happens when you really feel like something's about to change. right before the moment of lift off, sometimes things feel a little bit unhinged, and that's what it feels like to me right now, both as a woman and just as a human on the planet as an american woman in america. i feel like we're on the precipice of change. i feel a little nervous.

I think that i still have it in my heart someday to paint a bookshop with the front yellow and pink in the evening...like a light in the midst of the darkness.

It makes me boil when i think of the power we profess and the utter impotency of our action. believers who know one-tenth as much as we do are doing one-hundred times more for god, with his blessing and our criticism. oh if i could write it, preach it, say it, paint it, anything at all, if only god's power would become known among us.
Writing Thinking Blessing
We must help the child to act for himself, will for himself, think for himself; this is the art of those who aspire to serve the spirit.

35mm film isn't ticking away so it's subconscious - performances are allowed to breathe in a much more real way i think.
