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

I think the thing you're seeing now with the music industry is that the people who have tight-knit communities are now able to really hold each other up because of the internet tools. And the really top-down pyramid scheme of major labels and typical superstars isn't sustainable anymore because the system has collapsed.

You are an artist when you make someone feel something deep and unexpected.
Amanda Palmer

When we really see each other, we want to help each other.

The world needs actual excitement and emotion more than it needs cool people.
Amanda Palmer

The key is to just focus on the spots where the love is real, because you can just drive yourself crazy focusing on the negativity, focusing on the relationships that are irreparable and just aren't going to work, trying to convince the haters that you are indeed lovable. So much of that is wasted energy.
