“The things that come with celebrity, whether it’s a magazine cover or adulation or money, do not tell me who I am. It didn’t help when I had to cook dinner or scrub floors or take care of my children. It didn’t make any difference when I lost my husband and my brother and had to start my life again. The gods of celebrity don’t care. And no amount of fame or prosperity can replace the value of great work.” (Patti Smith, Dec. 4, 2008, New York Times)
About Me
- Naomi S
- A few things I know for sure. That revolving doors make me nervous. That, sometimes, it takes courage to do the simplest things. That the moment in a theatre before the stage lights come on is exquisite. That poetry is often "one short step to the good ground (May Swenson)." That I love swimming anywhere but especially in swimming pools.
