More quotes by Amanda Palmer
There's really no honor in proving that you can carry the entire load on your own shoulders. Andit's lonely.
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
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 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
I suppose I'm happy to sell my time and energy, but I'm not happy to sell my initial creative time.
Amanda Palmer
There's a part of me that is really, really happy with all of my success lately because of what it can get me and what it can buy me in the fact that my music will hopefully reach more people. But it also makes me a little bit miserable because the minute the spotlight is on you, people start flinging sh*t at you for whatever reason.
Amanda Palmer
I'm still trying to express my truth, my place in the world, my belief.
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
I feel that part of my life's artwork is creatively dealing with all this negativity and anger and rage and hatred coming from whatever corners it's coming from and somehow manifesting all of that anger into something positive, which is such a hard job.
Amanda Palmer
It’s not easy to ask… asking makes you vulnerable.
Amanda Palmer
I make the music that I want to make and make the show that I want to make. If you like it, you come. If you don't like it, you don't have to.
Amanda Palmer
Our nature is to desperately want to believe and to take what we believe is the quickest path there even against our better judgment.
Amanda Palmer
In both the art and the business worlds, the difference between the amateurs and the professionals is simple: The professionals know they're winging it. The amateurs pretend they're not.
Amanda Palmer
I think one of the greatest gifts you can give to someone is just access to the possibility of freedom that you don't have to be totally depressed and enslaved by your own environment.
Amanda Palmer
I think to say that meditation is helpful to artists is true and it's great, but it's also essentially helpful to any kind of process of, just, life.
Amanda Palmer
Nothing is crueller than children who come from good homes.
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
Eat the pain. Send it back into the void as love.
Amanda Palmer
The world needs actual excitement and emotion more than it needs cool people.
Amanda Palmer
When you trust people to help you, they often do.
