When you're afraid of someone's judgment, you can't connect with them. You're too preoccupied with the task of impressing them.

More quotes by Amanda Palmer
I firmly believe in music being as free as possible. Unlocked. Shared and spread. In order for artists to survive and create, their audiences need to step up and directly support them.
Amanda Palmer
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
The cool thing too, as you get older, you get way better at identifying who's an ally and who isn't. And who has good, positive, let's make all this sh*t better and let's try to have fun and fix sh*t people as opposed to let's sit around and b*tch and berate people.
Amanda Palmer
When you cannot joke about the darkness of life, that’s when the darkness takes over.
Amanda Palmer
One of the best things about Kickstarter and crowdfunding and the collapse of the music business is a lot of artists like me have been forced to face our own weird mess about ourselves and what we thought it meant to become musicians.
Amanda Palmer
Nothing is crueller than children who come from good homes.
Amanda Palmer
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
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
I draw the line at letting people into my songwriting cave. To me, that's where the alchemy happens and where the mystery is.
Amanda Palmer
I'm still trying to express my truth, my place in the world, my belief.
Amanda Palmer
I kind of rely on my artist friends to make my physical music worth buying by having them all come together and create beautiful artwork that everyone is gonna want to own to support my record.
Amanda Palmer
There's a fundamental disconnection in society in the way we live, this way we live that we take so for granted, and we've become very separate from one another and we don't really take lot of time to realize that. And the math is overwhelming to the point of despair, but the answers could be so simple.
Amanda Palmer
I want to be happy. i want to make people happy. i do not need to be rich to do that.
Amanda Palmer
I still get laughed at but it doesn't bother me, I'm just so glad to hear laughter around me.
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
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
I hate being ignored.
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
I've always felt like an outsider across the board, since day one. The challenge has been to simply not pay attention to my outsider or insider status and just do the work and play the shows and connect with the people. And not even bother to play this game of keeping score, which is what destroys you.
Amanda Palmer
Take on the pain and wear it as a shirt.
