More quotes by Amanda Palmer
There's a fundamental disconnection in society in the way we live, this way we live that we take so for granted, and we've become very separate from one another and we don't really take lot of time to realize that. And the math is overwhelming to the point of despair, but the answers could be so simple.
Amanda Palmer
Men find powerful women so threatening, and finding a partner was starting to look laughable, because I would be really attracted to guys and they would just be so threatened and I didn't like feeling threatening, I didn't want to feel threatened, I didn't want to feel like I was towering over anybody.
Amanda Palmer
Those who can ask without shame are viewing themselves in collaboration with-rather than in competition with-the world.
Amanda Palmer
All of my music, my stage show, my personality, my blog, my twitter feed, anything that's made me me, and a huge part of why people like and respect me, is that I just don't spend much energy on that other stuff. It's not worth it. It's a losing battle too. You're just screwed the minute you engage.
Amanda Palmer
While we're over here blocked up in our departments and locked up in our own judgments and dealing with our own crazy problems, they're over there dealing with equivalent problems. One of the things that I am so frightened by lately is that men are having just as difficult a time striking a balance as we are.
Amanda Palmer
The challenge in my life really is keeping the balance between feeling creatively energized and fulfilled without feeling overwhelmed and like Im in the middle of a battlefield.
Amanda Palmer
We are human and our nature is to air...
Amanda Palmer
There's something advantageous about being a woman in rock versus, say, a woman in chemistry or construction. There's definitely a built-in sexism across the board, but I think you're afforded a degree of freedom in rock because, historically, the rules have been flexible.
Amanda Palmer
The pattern's laid out on the bed With dozens of colors of thread But you've got the needle I guess that's the point in the end
Amanda Palmer
One of the best things about Kickstarter and crowdfunding and the collapse of the music business is a lot of artists like me have been forced to face our own weird mess about ourselves and what we thought it meant to become musicians.
Amanda Palmer
I suffer mornings most of all I feel so powerless and small By ten o'clock I'm back in bed Fighting the jury in my head
Amanda Palmer
In other words, let's give our young women the right weapons to fight with as they charge naked into battle, instead of ordering them to get back in the house and put some goddamn clothes on.
Amanda Palmer
When you connect with people, they want to help you.
Amanda Palmer
I want to be happy. i want to make people happy. i do not need to be rich to do that.
Amanda Palmer
I have never in my career embarked on a journey towards controversy. I have never deliberately set a flame.
Amanda Palmer
If I were a guy, it would be, you know, just a different set of problems I have to carry along.
Amanda Palmer
I think being a woman in any business that's dominated by men, you have your garden variety pros and cons, where you learn how to focus and harness your various powers and weaknesses for better or for good.
Amanda Palmer
I get so many ideas for songs, but I'm so seldom disciplined enough to sit down and crank them out.
Amanda Palmer
Crowdfunding as an idea itself isn't new - bands have been doing it since the dawn of time.
Amanda Palmer
There's nothing more threatening than a powerful woman, and there's nothing more threatening to the current order of things than women powerfully owning their own narrative. It's so threatening to people, to women as well, and it's threatening the order of things.
Amanda Palmer
