More quotes by Amanda Palmer
When you cannot joke about the darkness of life, that’s when the darkness takes over.
Amanda Palmer
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. I feel like I'm taking a bunch of the ingredients and using some of them but not all of them and shuffling around and making people think I'm doing my job.
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
Asking for help with shame says: You have the power over me. Asking with condescension says: I have the power over you. But asking for help with gratitude says: We have the power to help each other.
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 have never in my career embarked on a journey towards controversy. I have never deliberately set a flame.
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
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
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
If I were a guy, it would be, you know, just a different set of problems I have to carry along.
Amanda Palmer
I crave intimacy to the same burning degree that I detest commitment.
Amanda Palmer
The challenge in my life really is keeping the balance between feeling creatively energized and fulfilled without feeling overwhelmed and like Im in the middle of a battlefield.
Amanda Palmer
The stage show is, in some sense, highly theatrical. It's definitely not just a band in jeans playing rock and roll.
Amanda Palmer
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.
Amanda Palmer
Twitter fascinates me because it's real. It feels kind of unreal, but it makes very real things happen.
Amanda Palmer
I maintain couchsurfing and crowdsurfing are basically the same thing — you're falling into the audience and you're trusting each other.
Amanda Palmer
If we can repair things emotionally, a lot of other things would follow.
Amanda Palmer
Thank God my best friend's a therapist.
Amanda Palmer
Crowdfunding as an idea itself isn't new - bands have been doing it since the dawn of time.
Amanda Palmer
The perfect tools aren't going to help us if we can't face each other and give and receive fearlessly, but more important, to ask without shame.
Amanda Palmer
