More quotes by 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 suffer mornings most of all I feel so powerless and small By ten o'clock I'm back in bed Fighting the jury in my head
Amanda Palmer
I feel like I've gotten to the point in my career and in my life where I can allow myself to write whatever comes into my head and not judge it too harshly.
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
Life as it should be: all friends, all art, all music, all love, all the time.
Amanda Palmer
Take on the pain and wear it as a shirt.
Amanda Palmer
I have a handful of really close relationships in my life and I depend on those people heavily to carry me through and to help me stay steady.
Amanda Palmer
If you're going to make work and you're going to write and you're going to put yourself out there and perform, you will be belittled, you will be insulted, you will be called a standard collection of names, you will be accused, and you just have to stand there and continue to work and find a way to not let those things poison you.
Amanda Palmer
When you're an artist, nobody ever tells you or hits you with the magic wand of legitimacy. You have to hit your own head with your own handmade wand. And you feel stupid doing it.
Amanda Palmer
I was just a very dark kid. My family was complicated.
Amanda Palmer
When you connect with people, they want to help you.
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
Art is food for the soul, and an artistic climate is a healthy climate because it breeds empathy.
Amanda Palmer
Thank God my best friend's a therapist.
Amanda Palmer
How you sound. How you look. Are you fat? Those are things that could be really irritating.
Amanda Palmer
Men find powerful women so threatening, and finding a partner was starting to look laughable, because I would be really attracted to guys and they would just be so threatened and I didn't like feeling threatening, I didn't want to feel threatened, I didn't want to feel like I was towering over anybody.
Amanda Palmer
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.
Amanda Palmer
If we can repair things emotionally, a lot of other things would follow.
Amanda Palmer
I'm a massive fan of David Lynch and 'Twin Peaks.'
Amanda Palmer
I have never in my career embarked on a journey towards controversy. I have never deliberately set a flame.
Amanda Palmer
