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
Image
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
Image
The impulse to connect the dots - and to share what you've connected - is the urge that makes you an artist

I crave intimacy to the same burning degree that I detest commitment.

There are so many people, so many artists, so many magazines, so many theater companies, so many people trying to raise money for so many things that it's easy to look around and just feel powerless or helpless, because even if you have some resources, you can't help everybody.

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.

Image
I make the music that I want to make and make the show that I want to make. If you like it, you come. If you don't like it, you don't have to.

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.

I think I've been addicted to openness since long before my rock career. I was terrible as a teenager. I used to go out of my way to make people uncomfortable with personal details. I was always fascinated by the idea that we have these weird, random boundaries between what we do and don't show.

I hate being ignored.

You know what’s really cool? Wake up every morning, decide what you feel like doing, and do it.
Amanda Palmer
Image
The world needs actual excitement and emotion more than it needs cool people.
Amanda Palmer
Image
I do what I want. I try to be nice to everybody. When I fail, I try to apologize.
Amanda Palmer
Image
I'm still trying to express my truth, my place in the world, my belief.
Amanda Palmer
Image
I don't try to make anybody outside happy.
Amanda Palmer
Image
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
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.
Amanda Palmer
Image
If I simply do what I've always done, it's never failed me.
Amanda Palmer
Image
I don't think of myself as particularly cursed or blessed. I think I got dealt a set of cards, and I'm playing with them, sometimes in heels, sometimes in combat boots.
