I still get laughed at but it doesn't bother me, I'm just so glad to hear laughter around me.

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.

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.

If you love people enough, they will give you everything.

I'm still trying to express my truth, my place in the world, my belief.

One of the best things about Kickstarter and crowdfunding and the collapse of the music business is a lot of artists like me have been forced to face our own weird mess about ourselves and what we thought it meant to become musicians.

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

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.

I get really fantastic results when I just get out of my own way.

When you trust people to help you, they often do.

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