just kids

• interview magazine spoke with the artist, patti smith, about her new memoir, just kids, and her chaotic relationship with the love of her life, robert mapplethorpe. it was fabulous and inspiring. check out the interview here. buy the book here.

"Because even as a kid, I wanted to be an artist. I also did not want to be trapped in the ’50s idea of gender. I grew up in the ’50s, when the girls wore really bright red lipstick and nail polish, and they smelled like Eau de Paris. Their world just didn’t attract me. I hid in the world of the artist—first the 19th-century artists, then the Beats. And Peter Pan." - patti smith
