More quotes by Amanda Palmer
The perfect tools aren't going to help us if we can't face each other and give and receive fearlessly, but more important, to ask without shame.
Amanda Palmer
I feel like if I were to play the game completely and just get myself in a giant bottle of nail polish and put myself on display, I would feel like I had somehow cosmically lost. I feel like I'm taking a bunch of the ingredients and using some of them but not all of them and shuffling around and making people think I'm doing my job.
Amanda Palmer
I crave intimacy to the same burning degree that I detest commitment.
Amanda Palmer
I have a handful of really close relationships in my life and I depend on those people heavily to carry me through and to help me stay steady.
Amanda Palmer
On many days, harder than the act of making the art itself is the act of sharing it and living in a culture that you know is built to tear you down.
Amanda Palmer
The stage show is, in some sense, highly theatrical. It's definitely not just a band in jeans playing rock and roll.
Amanda Palmer
I think you can't have this discussion and you can't have a discussion about feminism and the consciousness of the world without having a discussion about what has happened to men lately. They're holding the other side of the bag.
Amanda Palmer
If you love people enough, they will give you everything.
Amanda Palmer
I think performance art comes from a simple place of wanting to express things beyond just sound.
Amanda Palmer
We can only connect the dots we collect, which makes everything you write about you... your connections are the thread that you weave into the cloth that becomes the story that only you can tell.
Amanda Palmer
I was just a very dark kid. My family was complicated.
Amanda Palmer
I do what I want. I try to be nice to everybody. When I fail, I try to apologize.
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
I don't think of myself as particularly cursed or blessed. I think I got dealt a set of cards, and I'm playing with them, sometimes in heels, sometimes in combat boots.
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
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
Comparing yourself to the people like you, comparing yourself to the people who aren't like you, looking at how many records you've sold, looking at the venue size you're selling out. None of that can even remotely measure how happy you are.
Amanda Palmer
The world needs actual excitement and emotion more than it needs cool people.
Amanda Palmer
You're not going to be perfect, you're not going to stop berating yourself, you're not going to stop the comparisons, you're not going to stop the judgment, but you can become evermore mindful of it, and that has to be good enough.
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
