Someone who's a great hero of mine and has become a friend is Patti Smith.
I wasn't familiar with Patti [Smith ]much at all. When I was asked to photograph her, my wife said, "Oh my God, Patti Smith!" So I looked at some Robert Mapplethorpe books and I recognized those pictures.
I became Patti's [Smith] messenger, basically, and the film is my view of how I learned about Patti.
The photograph, the clothes, the sets - this was about 1974, and I started hanging out with my friend Richard Sold, who was playing in a band with Patti Smith.
We were just hanging out and getting to learn about each other. But I think trust was a really big thing. Patti [Smith] is a good friend, somebody I can talk to.
The commercial space industry owes a huge debt to Patti Grace Smith. There might not be a commercial spaceflight industry were it not for Patti's leadership.
I count Joseph Smith among those whose testimony of Christ helped me to develop my own testimony of the Savior. Before I recognized the tutoring of the Spirit testifying to me that Joseph Smith was a prophet of God, my youthful heart felt that he was a friend of God and would therefore, quite naturally, also be a friend of mine.
I would bring Patti [Smith ] in to the editing room [working on the Dream of Life] and say, "This is a great moment for a voiceover, or a poem," and then we'd bring in some sound design.
I've got the biggest crush on Patti Smith.
I loved 'Just Kids' by Patti Smith.
I was pretty taken with Patti Smith, she was my heroine.
I quickly realized that Patti [Smith] was somebody very special.
I just wanted to be Patti's [Smith] messenger and get her word out there.
I'm interested in Patti Smith and women who were iconic in a very hedonistic way.
Over time it just got more and more intense as far as the trust factor. For example, when we started editing the film [Dream of Life], I thought, man, I need to make sense of all the footage I have; I need to ground the film. And one day I was hanging out in Patti's [Smith] bedroom, which is where Patti works, and in the corner of her bedroom is this great chair, and that's when she began showing her personal things to me. The camera was there, and we realized that we were really making the movie and making sense of the footage in the movie.
I was making a film [Dream of Life] about Patti [Smith], but I was taking pictures, too.
Fashion's been really good to me. It financed Patti Smith: Dream of Life.
