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.

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.

Amanda Palmer

Amanda Palmer
It’s not easy to ask… asking makes you vulnerable.
Amanda Palmer
If you come across an American artist right now who has no political opinions or is afraid of talking politics, be very concerned.
Amanda Palmer
I crave intimacy to the same burning degree that I detest commitment.
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 have never in my career embarked on a journey towards controversy. I have never deliberately set a flame.
Amanda Palmer
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
Donald Trump is going to make punk rock great again.
Amanda Palmer
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.
