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.

I had very literal parents and I wanted to survive with metaphor and art, and there was a real sense of shame around it.
Amanda Palmer
Image
Those who can ask without shame are viewing themselves in collaboration with-rather than in competition with-the world.

Image
I was just a very dark kid. My family was complicated.
Amanda Palmer
Image
When you cannot joke about the darkness of life, that’s when the darkness takes over.

Image
I'm bisexual, but it's not the sort of thing I spent a lot of time thinking about. I've slept with girls I've slept with guys, so I guess that's what they call it! I'm not anti trying to use language to simplify our lives.
Amanda Palmer
Image
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.

How you sound. How you look. Are you fat? Those are things that could be really irritating.
Amanda Palmer

Every album is just a greatest hits of whatever songs are on a pile when I go in to make a record.

The stage show is, in some sense, highly theatrical. It's definitely not just a band in jeans playing rock and roll.
Amanda Palmer
Image
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
Image
Crowdfunding as an idea itself isn't new - bands have been doing it since the dawn of time.
Amanda Palmer
Image
I think I've always felt as a band and as a musician and a music business person, I've always felt like an outsider, period.
Amanda Palmer
Image
You tour and you work hard and you take care of your fans and very real things lead to other real things. There's never been some fantastic fluke or break in my career, it has all been very slow and steady.
Amanda Palmer
Image
It would nice to live in a world where art can just be art!
Amanda Palmer
Image
I don't feel at home in New Orleans. I don't feel at home in Austin or L.A. And I just felt immediately at home in northern Australia.

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
I don't try to make anybody outside happy.
Amanda Palmer
Image
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.

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

I think I can define my entire life, virtuosity and business philosophy down to the core fundamental that I absolutely hate being told what to do. But like any artist or any human being out there, I desperately want to be loved, and I spend my entire life trying to balance those two facts.
