Patty Smyth

“It took a while for me to figure out how it all fit in, being a mother and being a woman and being a rock singer.”

“I went through a period of being disillusioned with touring.”

“I'm able to do nothing.”

“When you have a different mother, you want to be in her world. Because in mine, I didn't feel like I fit in.”

“Scandal rarely toured after those first few hits. I want to go out and sing and connect with fans who may have never seen us live.”

“We shot the video for 'Broken' where both my parents grew up. There was always a strong sense of serving our country in the neighborhood - my father and all my uncles served, and most of them enlisted.”

“I'm not a Pat Benatar clone. I wish people would forget about that comparison.”

“In the past, I've allowed myself to record songs that I wish I had not, but agreed to for one reason or another.”

“When 'The Warrior' came out, Scandal was no more.”

“I listen to country music. I listen to jazz. I listen to R&B. I listen to Jimi Hendrix a lot.”
