Patti Smith offers advice to artists:
Build a good name. 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. 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.
It's a new technological age and we're all pioneers. No one knows where it's going and the internet media era is still in its infancy. It's a Brave New World, y'all.
See her speak the words herself.
