Patti Smith & Steven Sebring

Selected quotes from article:

"JULIE: There is a scene in Dream of Life where you wonder aloud what is in a Prada bag. Do you wear Prada? Who is your favorite designer?

PATTI: It wasn't my Prada bag in the movie. But I did joke around in the movie and had a little fun. I do like Prada, but my favorite designer is Ann Demeulemeester"

"JULIE: Many photographers these days are using digital cameras. have you tried one or do you still like to use your trusty Polaroid?

PATTI: I haven't used a digital camera yet. I have used my iPhone for my website and it works quite well. I suppose in the near future I will use a digital camera. But for right now, I am still using my Polaroid. I feel really grateful to shoot with film. But film is not very environmentally friendly. There are reasons to change. So maybe I should try something new."

Ryan McGinley & Stanley Whitney in Conversation

Selected quotes from article:

"STANLEY: If you received a very generous gift certificate to a high-end designer clothing boutique, who would it be? And what would you get?

RYAN: It would be a Martin Margiela and I would get a suit. he makes the best suits."

Visionary Futurist Syd Mead, a Retrospective

Selected quotes from article:

"DREW: You almost worked with Michael Jackson twice. What happened?

SYD: Michael Jackson was a fan of mine, honestly. He flew me and my partner, Roger Servick, to Hawaii for his History Tour show as his personal guest. He had all of my books because he like to cruise through bookstores, particularly Hennessey and Ingalls in Santa Monica. He found my books there and I had meetings with him on several occasions: once in Hawaii after that show, once in Hollywood, once in Bahrain, and, most recently, once at the Hotel Bel Air just before his unsolved death. All these meetings were about consultant possibilities, which went through pre-production stages but were never finished. Nevertheless, Michael would call me personally for my opinion and he is the single Hollywood celebrity to ever make personal contact. I miss his friendship very much."
