Topics Index

1 Age

  • 1. Think back to yourself at age 18. I know I was mighty different than the Patti I am today. As we grow up we grow out of our haircuts our apartments and – often times – our romantic decisions.
  • 2. I remember when I was 6 years old and my brother used to go seek out guys that were 13 to come over and play football against me while he was the 'permanent quarterback.' I didn't know exactly what the age difference was but I was already playing against older guys.
  • 3. Men of my age live in a state of continual desperation.

2 Amazing

  • 1. Raising a small child as a woman while travelling 10 months out of the year would I believe be something I would not be able or even want to do although with the amazing example of Leila I am no longer so sure.
  • 2. There was just this amazing individuality. It's just a whole different world of optimism and fearlessness women taking off their bras and dancing around naked and a political hopefulness and involvement.
  • 3. You know it's amazing. I don't even have a car would you believe it? I had a motorbike and it got stolen last year. So I've got to buy another one of those I suppose. I can treat myself to that.

3 Anger

  • 1. I accrued anger from people's low opinion of me and my work and for the work I might be capable of.
  • 2. The poor monkey quietly seated on the ground seemed to be in sore trouble at this display of anger.
  • 3. As a culture I see us as presently deprived of subtleties. The music is loud the anger is elevated sex seems lacking in sweetness and privacy.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. Why does a woman work ten years to change a man's habits and then complain that he's not the man she married?
  • 2. I didn't make my first solo record until 1981 so I don't have any 60's or 70's recordings but I am working on a large boxed set called DUST to be released next year the 20th anniversary of my first solo record.
  • 3. That there's no more important decision in life than who you marry.

5 Architecture

  • 1. The British political system and the whole clapped out Westminster architecture and the language that we use about politics it's completely unsustainable. You either decide to be part of that transition to do something different. Or you cling to old certainties.
  • 2. Without this spirit Modernist architecture cannot fully exist. Since there is often a mismatch between the logic and the spirit of Modernism I use architecture to reconcile the two.
  • 3. The Egyptian contribution to architecture was more concerned with remembering the dead than the living.
