- "Build a good name," rock poet Patti Smith advises the young. "Keep your name clean. Don’t make compromises. Don’t worry about making a bunch of money or being successful. Be concerned about doing good work and protect your work."
The American singer, poet and photographer Patti Smith (b. 1946) is a living punk rock legend. In this video she gives powerful advice to the young: "Protect your work and if you build a good name, eventually that name will be its own currency. Life is like a roller coaster ride, it is never going to be perfect. It is going to have perfect moments and rough spots, but it’s all worth it."
Patti Smith (b.1946) is an award-winning American punk rock musician, poet and visual artist, who became a highly influential figure in the New York City punk rock scene with her debut album ‘Horses’ in 1975. Smith fuses rock and poetry in her work, and has been dubbed the ”punk poet laureate” as well as ”the godmother of punk.” In 2007 she was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and in 2010 Rolling Stone magazine put her on the 47th place of their list of 100 Greatest Artists. Among her many albums are ’Horses’ (1975), ’Radio Ethiopia’ (1976), ’Easter’ (1978), ’Gone Again’ (1996) and ’Banga’ (2012). Smith is also the author of several books, including ’Woolgathering’ (1992), ’Just Kids’ (2010) - which won the National Book Award and describes her relationship to her lover and friend, photographer Robert Mapplethorpe - and ’M Train’ (2015).
Patti Smith was interviewed by Christian Lund at the Louisiana Literature festival at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Denmark in August 2012.

"Build a good name, do good work."
Solid advice.
I applied every word she said to my line of work and let the words infiltrate into my heart. I have loved her since "Horses".
Ironically, the most "punk rock" thing someone could do is saying "fuck you" to punk rock lmao. She really IS the godmother of punk. Iconic.
Amazing woman; I love how the interviewer just sits and lets her speak, soaking in her wisdom with the crowd,
A true poet and philosopher as well as a talented musician. Peace.
Yes. She's shaman
I love her. These are the people who we need to look up to and admire. I love her spirit so much....
She's so beautiful in every possibile way. Wonderful woman.
Emilia Gondek you cannot be serious surely patti isn't she's an idiot
She looks a bit like J.Scotti,lead guitar from Skid Row. XD
For me she's attractive. Like really. She has something special in her look
I agree. She is wonderful! Great and attractive too! What's attractive means to us? Let's put our hands on our mind and that will be clear for us.
here her head she lay
I'm now going through a hard time in my life as an artist. This video really made me cry.
Abigail He Hang in there! Hope you're doing better now 🍀
don't stop Abigail. Just keep on keeping on. :)
Here, here. I'm in the same boat. I hope that we can grow from this.
Same. Hang in there 💕
Abigail...thank you for sharing...art is never easy... you know it's a double-edged sword. We have the gift, and it's also a curse. Please do your best to stay healthy...be kind, to yourself and others...hope you are still there, and if you live for art, as I do, we owe it to ourselves to survive, and live to tell...by all means, you are welcome to contact me anytime, via email, or via fb.
Please take care.
Patti Smith gives such poignant yet simple advice to the young, but I think it speaks to anyone who realizes their potential in this world as a human being. This shining star of a human poet has lived.
Patti is incredibly grounded and inspiring at the same time.
I think this is really what I needed to hear. Sometimes I get desperate and lose focus on my goals, but it's true that you should just do it, go for it, even if you're only fan.
+Sainte Ann There'll be time to rest when we're dead so lets fucking go for it!!!!
+Sainte Ann These were words I needed to hear. Patti Smith has always been my idol and to hear her say "yeah, it's not easy, life's not easy but do what you love" is inspirational!
True artist. The work fulfills. Patti is saintly in her loving sincerity. In a world where everyone lies, she speaks the truth. A true angel.
I want my 18 year-old daughter to see this. I wish someone would have given me similar guidance when I was "young". May have influenced me away from all the wrong turns I made.
Selling out is only when you create something because it will sell. Being famous and selling out aren't the same.
indeed
Amen sister
The only ones who do not sell out are the ones you have never heard of.
@@undersolo No. You can become famous without selling out
Do u have any vinyls left to see
She has such an inspirational speech for who wants to be creative.
This is honestly the most inspiring video I have watched... I always come back to this video for her words of wisdom
Me too - six times. Very inspiring words. I think she is amazing.
This is my go to "having a bad day" video. It always helps me get my head on straight when I'm feeling overwhelmed
to right
I listen to this everyday. I'm an adult now but I was never given this advice - it was always that I had to look a certain way or do certain things to please other people in order to live a 'good' life. It's thanks to artists and writers (like Patti) who have shaped me and my world view. I was taught by them to be free and independent.
She's so wise, I love her
She's enchantress
Patti is an angel. She's brought a lot of peace to my life in a mothering sort of way.
Patti gives the truth about life here. Life is shorter than most people imagine, A squirrel arrived in my garden this morning and gave me a big smile!
The very embodiment of raw unadorned honest punk attitude. No one deserves the title punk godmother more than our dearest Patti. She breaks my heart every time she speaks or performs and I love her to the moon.
Love this. Tears. Required watching for any creative.
She is amazing. So wise, so whole, so truthful. Gotta love her
Oh Patricia, you've always been my north star 🌟
All those tears that have been stuck in anger, fear, self-harm, doom, for a year - probably 3,4,5... all those ones came welling down in the sea of words of Patricia Lee Smith. You've saved me from moments, tonight you possibly saved me from the worst - myself. xx
Hope you are safe, stay here.. happiness comes around
such a positive person, and a true poet… when she spoke in Melbourne at her gig just as the GFC was happening, she was a healing balm
I never had clear goals, dreams, just a knowledge that I have a lot of power and potential but I never knew what to do with it, and at times that made me feel so low.. I am currently embracing what she is saying about just do what you want and accept that life is a package of both joy and suffering.
'ye know, my name is Smith'. she is so fresh!
Frickin I ADORE Patti Smith!!
I have been reading Patti's books, listening to her albums, and studying her poetry and biography lately, and my respect and admiration for her increase as I go. And she and Robert Mapplethorpe had the kind of love I wish I could find.
keep your good name.Integrity is what you will remember most on your death bed.Not Fame or Money but your integrity.And have fun goddamit.Thanks Patti.
😭 Her vibrations are inspired ❤️
Such a sweet, warm and encouraging soul she is
This made me cry. Love you Patti
She and Laurie Anderson are here to inspire us.
Amazing woman ~ insightful, humble and inspiring. .
I'll feel thankful for the rest of my life for this advice. Thank you Patti❤
"Frederick " hit song the most memorable song Pattie sang it so well, beautiful woman and beautiful singer.
I cried listen to this woman! Love her so much .
What makes her so beautiful to me is the fact that she is real and honest in a time were people are fake and think that we should worship them. That is why I think she is beautiful
This is great advice for anyone. Thanks Patti!
I shed a tear of happiness
We are going through such a shitty time in the world right now. Listening to her words really gave me hope. She's such a remarkable being.
I could listen to this over and over and over......🌈♥️
Patti provides encouragement to people who care about the truly important things. Her words: "People have the power to redeem the work of fools."
It is important that messages of hope and inspiration continue to come from artists with integrity who have earned our trust and admiration.
Beautiful message from a beautiful person.
Good advice for the young and for everyone.
The wisdom of Patti Smith has inspired me since I first heard Horses. And just continues to inspire.
She is such a beautiful person. i really needed that right now. thank you
I used to love her in the 70's and i love her now. Always spoke from the heart.
I'm reading her book these days, the M Train, in which she's representing herself as she is, as a wonderful human being, showing her everyday life, with all the joys and struggles, ups and downs. She is true to the public as she is to herself, in this speech and in written word as well. A person to look up to 🙏🏻
She is so wonderful.
I love Patti Smith since she began her career and always followed her. She is so deep and philosophy in her belief system of life experience. In my humble opinion, she rises to the tier of a near Genius. Not only is she beautiful inside, but beautiful outside of herself with no inhibitions,of which she does NOT hold back. Lastly, boy what a true Artist of real ideals that are based on concrete life.
Solid, real, uncompromising, loving,..
She might not want to hear this, but, GOD BLESS YOU!
She has been blessed and she is not afraid to share her blessings with us.
she's brilliant, humble, wise...I'm reading her book "M Train" ...it's beautiful..
so is her book "Just Kids"...when she first moved to NY
Yes, I'm reading that book right now!

@@CyndyNeg I read *"Just Kids".* Awesome story!
She’s amazing ❤️
oh god she's the light. This is so inspiring and strong that made me cry. Gave me that faith to keep going.
I've always LOVED Patti Smith .. ever since I heard the Horses album way back in the day! .. But, lately, I've been kind of rediscovering her for myself. Now I'm looking forward to reading her memoir books. .. and wow, this video, what she says here .. she basically says it all doesn't she. .. Such a pure, honest, beautiful spirit. I love her.
During quarantine I finally listened to her narrate her book Just Kids and she’s very intelligent. Kind person. It’s just crazy how many iconic people she’s had in her life.
How wise she is. Her memoir ‘just kids’ was so beautifully written. A true poet
Une expérience de vie et beaucoup d’accessibilité, elle est humaine ! 😊
Fantastic personality
Love Patti Smith. Lucky to have her accompany me thru my youth. Yeah! Turn it up.
She is a great interview and speaker.
Beautiful words of wisdom.
Such powerful words. I love her so much
I always come back to this video for her words of wisdom! It's so inspiring! 💙💚💛
Very wise advice, to the young and old I would say, very insightful. Brilliant!
Maria Chat I love Patti Smith and what she has to say. Too bad that the people who control communication technology also can control what is put on the net and also make sure things they do not want the people to hear,...... that they will not hear. or read.
James W. Barrett I was hoping that the Internet was that one place that people could upload information and search for information and be selective about it. People choose not to listen, that's my experience so far.
Maria Chat you can't listen to something you cannot hear because it's been removed and deleted from the artificial information network. Not trying to argue your point or say its not possible. it just will not happen on a government controlled and monitored network. or maybe you just don't understand the complexity of technology and how easily it can be modified or monitored. And the internet started as a military communication system for the sole purpose of realtime information sharing world wide for the purpose of..... well you ponder why the war machine would want to be on the same page we the same time..
Incredibly beautiful words
I love you Patti
Good God, i love this woman, she is essence in all aspects not just an image, this kind of woman is what this world we live in needs urgently . With a thousand of Patti Smith we would be happier.
During my Insomnia this week, I have found myself stumbling upon some wonderful (and some weird) RUclips videos. This one last night stood out, and the content is just as relevant in today's world.
I really love Patti Smith. 🖤
ps; I also re-watched Patti performing Bob Dylan's 'A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall', at Bob's Nobel Prize ceremony. Even the best of us still get nervous. Such humility and grace..and after a restart, she nailed it beautifully. The emotion was palpable. Bob was said to have laughed and remarked that 'nobody messes up my lyrics more than I do'. Definitely something to check out if you're a Bob and/or Patti fan.
Try to get sleep Gemma. It’s important. I have difficulty sleeping also but I just discovered ZzzzQuil night sleep aid. You drink a capful
Great interviewer - doesn't interrupt her with lots of questions.
Yeah I wish there were moments like that on "regular" TV all over the world. Instead people are forced to half-ass their ideas out, no room for nuances, for real talk, for thinking out loud and giving time to let it sink in. That's one of the reasons we have so much hate, so much frustration and so many simplistic ideas flying around I think. There are many more wise "public figures" out there I'm sure, it's just very very hard to find them.
One of my favorite interviews. Thank you for sharing this.
"We are living in a time like no other in history...We can bring down these people and these governments that think they rule everything..." Thank you Patty. That is the truest and most important thing we need to hear and understand and act on.
So much wisdom in one person. In some ways it doesn’t even seem fair (I say that with the utmost respect and admiration), but the amount of experience you have to cram into one lifetime to have a mind like her’s would probably break most of us. Thank you Patti 😊✌🏻🇺🇸
I love this woman.
wise and true words
She's spot on & we, the people, DO have the power so I say we take back our world. I think we slowly are & it's scaring the hell out of the powers that be.. Doesn't that just make you smile & have hope for our children & grandchildren? A truly inspirational message.
Thank You Patti Smith.
I just lovr her...I'was a kid of the 70's and I am constantly awed by Patti Dmith!
Patti Dmith!
I live to hear her speak
Wonderful human .
Thanks Patti. I just had a big work set back and I needed this.
Such an inspirational speech! It almost made me cry...there's still hopes, after all!! Thank you patti ♡
Thank you, Patti. Great advice.
it's a soothing balm to my ears to hear someone speak with such wisdom and sense in a world where multitudes of untruth, misinformation and dimensionless and hackneyed judgement howls in the wilderness, thank you patti for being so true and real.
Patti Smith is a wise woman.
Wow she is so wise & insightful.... Love it.🦋💜
Wish I was in that audience!
Wise words for all of us...sending out to any who need to be reminded what matters.
Wow - thank you for speaking such truth ~ amazing woman Patti Smith )0(
Love this talk from her. I love her. She really helps me as a struggling artist too.
She is really inspiring.
Love Patti Smith because she really embodies how to live in the world as an artist and human being.
Power to The People !
Great advice. Beautiful Person & Soul. I love Patti Smith.❤
My role model.
Thank you, Patti.
A great woman of the people and for the people....very important lady
