Zitat des Tages von Patti Scialfa:
I grew up in an era where you had to find your own way as a woman. When I was a kid, there was this whole physical and emotional neatness and purity that a woman was supposed to have, and I didn't fit into that.
Forget the press - just being a partner of somebody who's very, very famous, it's hard to keep your center and your personality intact.
I don't really sell many records.
When I was younger, I'd go to the Museum of Television and Radio in New York and watch this beautiful clip of Billie Holiday playing with a bassist, a pianist and Gerry Mulligan, who was a friend of mine, on baritone sax. At one point, she looks over at Gerry, and they just smile. When those moments happen, it's just lovely.
My real priorities were my family - my kids and Bruce - and my work with the E Street Band.
You come to the city, and you have a chance to find out who you really are.
I was always friends with a lot of guys, maybe because their girlfriends were girly-girls, and they felt safe with me.
There was such a lack of modern, recognizable role models for a young girl in the 1950s. I mean, 'Leave It to Beaver' didn't speak to me. That's why I latched on to music.
I like writing a body of music that has a cohesive, emotional thread through it.
With any long-term relationship, you have good days and bad days.
We always make a hot breakfast for the kids: oatmeal, pancakes, bacon, scrambled eggs, the whole deal. We like to have that time in the morning together as a family.
You know how you get close to something you want and then you start doing things to ensure that you don't quite get it? I did a lot of that.
I like having the space of my own project.
