patti smith: commentary on her work
"i'm constantly being portrayed in one skin, in one guise,
whereas i'm impossible to pin down. i'm not a defensive
chameleon. i'm just one who changes from moment to moment. but
critics have this great aristotelian point of view, they want to
classify everything."
