More quotes by 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
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
If you love people enough, they will give you everything.
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
Meditation, especially for people who dont know very much about it and think its this very hippy dippy thing, can really be powerful, terrifying even, as it lifts the rug up on your subconscious and the dust comes flying out.
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
I don't try to make anybody outside happy.
Amanda Palmer
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
The pattern's laid out on the bed With dozens of colors of thread But you've got the needle I guess that's the point in the end
Amanda Palmer
You know, there are so many snarky angry critics out there who are just sort of looking to tear down whoever is getting talked about.
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
We can only connect the dots we collect, which makes everything you write about you... your connections are the thread that you weave into the cloth that becomes the story that only you can tell.
Amanda Palmer
Thank God my best friend's a therapist.
Amanda Palmer
I do what I want. I try to be nice to everybody. When I fail, I try to apologize.
Amanda Palmer
How do we let people pay for music?
Amanda Palmer
There was a dance that everyone was doing that was heavily skewed with the power in one direction, but the dance was basically working, and then the dance got really disrupted with the first wave of feminism, and nobody found their footing yet - not the guys, not the women.
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
I crave intimacy to the same burning degree that I detest commitment.
Amanda Palmer
I've watched so many women, from Kathleen Hanna all the way up to Taylor Swift, whether they're pop artists or rock stars or fine artists or writers, it is the subhistory of female artists that if you're going to make art, you're also going to have a full-time job of defending your right to make art.
Amanda Palmer
I hate being ignored.
