Thank God my best friend's a therapist.

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
Image
The minute I spend any energy defending myself, explaining myself, or in the worst case scenario, trying to please those who are criticizing me, I will, you know, just fall off a cliff.
Amanda Palmer

If you love people enough, they will give you everything.

If you come across an American artist right now who has no political opinions or is afraid of talking politics, be very concerned.

I get really fantastic results when I just get out of my own way.

I don't try to make anybody outside happy.
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.

Bands like Nirvana had theatrical sensibilities, playing with image, challenging assumptions people were making about them, the apex being Kurt Cobain in a dress to make a point.
Amanda Palmer
Image
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
Image
Every album is just a greatest hits of whatever songs are on a pile when I go in to make a record.
Amanda Palmer
Image
Sometimes I have a terrible feeling that I am dying not from the virus, but from being untouchable.
Amanda Palmer
Image
I have never in my career embarked on a journey towards controversy. I have never deliberately set a flame.
Amanda Palmer
Image
There's really no honor in proving that you can carry the entire load on your own shoulders. Andit's lonely.

If your writing is good, if it resonates, if it connects the dots for anybody out there, the lovers will come, the haters will come, support will come — sometimes in the form of money, sometimes in the form of something less expected — and it balances.
Amanda Palmer
Image
Collecting the dots. Then connecting them. And then sharing the connections with those around you. This is how a creative human works. Collecting, connecting, sharing.
Amanda Palmer
Image
I feel like I've gotten to the point in my career and in my life where I can allow myself to write whatever comes into my head and not judge it too harshly.

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.
