More From Patti Smith

He thought about the story his daughter was living and the role she was playing inside that story. he realized he hadn't provided a better role for his daughter. he hadn't mapped out a story for his family. and so his daughter had chosen another story, a story in which she was wanted, even if she was only being used. in the absence of a family story, she'd chosen a story in which there was risk and adventure, rebellion and independence.

I'm not really a movie star. no matter what i do in acting, whether i'm good, how much work i get, whatever, i never will be a movie star. because i never think of myself as one. you are a movie star because you think of yourself as a movie star and always have.
Thinking Acting Think Of You
I'm not a movie star like other actors in the way that i need to walk around with a bodyguard. my goal is just to get some interesting parts and make enough money to live free. otherwise, to be a movie star, it's a lot of compromise and also a lot of headaches. you can't do what you want. you become a prisoner of your fame. this happened to me in france and i don't want it. i want to go to the terrace of a café, have a coffee. i have no problems with the fact that people recognize me, i'm very glad about it, but to be a movie star is kind of unreal for me.

Maybe it’s my own fault. maybe i led you to believe it was easy when it wasn’t. maybe i made you think my highlights started at the free throw line, and not in the gym. maybe i made you think that every shot i took was a game winner. that my game was built on flash, and not fire. maybe it’s my fault that you didn’t see that failure gave me strength; that my pain was my motivation. maybe i led you to believe that basketball was a god given gift, and not something i worked for every single day of my life. maybe i destroyed the game. or maybe you’re just making excuses.

I'll say - i have four kids! i married a woman when i was 24 years old. she was 13 years my senior. she had been married twice before. i adopted them. i was 24 and had a 17-year-old son instantly, an 11-year-old daughter, a 5-year-old, and a child on the way. so i had to learn how to become a parent very quickly.

If the point of life is the same as the point of a story, the point of life is character transformation. if i got any comfort as i set out on my first story, it was that in nearly every story, the protagonist is transformed. he's a jerk at the beginning and nice at the end, or a coward at the beginning and brave at the end. if the character doesn't change, the story hasn't happened yet. and if story is derived from real life, if story is just condensed version of life then life itself may be designed to change us so that we evolve from one kind of person to another.

When one speaks of humanity, the idea is fundamental that this is something which separates and distinguishes man from nature. in reality, however, there is no such separation: "natural" qualities and those called truly "human" are inseparably grown together. man, in his highest and noblest capacities, is wholly nature and embodies its uncanny dual character. those of his abilities which are terrifying and considered inhuman may even be the fertile soil out of which alone all humanity can grow in impulse, deed, and work.

The real truth that dare not speak itself, is that no one is in control, absolutely no one... nobody is in control. this stuff is ruled by the equations of dynamics and chaos. now, there may be entities seeking control - the world bank, the communist party, the rich, the somebody-or-others - but to seek control is to take enormous aggravation upon yourself... it's like trying to control a dream.
