It feels like it is a daily work and an ongoing task to undo all of the f - - g programming that I have had all my life about who I am supposed to be and how I'm supposed to look and that I'm supposed to win. It's a daily deconstruction of all that bullshit.

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.

When you cannot joke about the darkness of life, that’s when the darkness takes over.

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.

I get really fantastic results when I just get out of my own way.
Amanda Palmer
Image
Sometimes I have a terrible feeling that I am dying not from the virus, but from being untouchable.

Crowdfunding as an idea itself isn't new - bands have been doing it since the dawn of time.

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
Image
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.

If we can repair things emotionally, a lot of other things would follow.
