I think it's so important to have a practice, because the consciousness isn't perfection or enlightenment or any of that bullshit. The consciousness is, Oh, I'm walking down the street and I'm doing nothing.

More quotes by 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
Nobody ever sees me. Thank you.
Amanda Palmer
For most of human history, musicians, artists, they've been part of the community — connectors and openers, not untouchable stars.
Amanda Palmer
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.
Amanda Palmer
I feel an extraordinary amount of sympathy for anybody working at a major label right now because their lives are over.
Amanda Palmer
Take on the pain and wear it as a shirt.
Amanda Palmer
The impulse to connect the dots - and to share what you've connected - is the urge that makes you an artist
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
Everyone I know shares toothbrushes. Everyone I know sleeps on each other's floor. Everyone I know uses what they've got and shares what they've got.
Amanda Palmer
I suppose I'm happy to sell my time and energy, but I'm not happy to sell my initial creative time.
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
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
I've always felt like an outsider across the board, since day one. The challenge has been to simply not pay attention to my outsider or insider status and just do the work and play the shows and connect with the people. And not even bother to play this game of keeping score, which is what destroys you.
Amanda Palmer
When you connect with people, they want to help you.
Amanda Palmer
The world needs actual excitement and emotion more than it needs cool people.
Amanda Palmer
One thing about being a performer is you're not just doing an intellectual job behind a desk you're out there performing and being looked at, being assessed for really superficial stuff.
Amanda Palmer
I want to be happy. i want to make people happy. i do not need to be rich to do that.
Amanda Palmer
Meditation, especially for people who dont know very much about it and think its this very hippy dippy thing, can really be powerful, terrifying even, as it lifts the rug up on your subconscious and the dust comes flying out.
Amanda Palmer
How you sound. How you look. Are you fat? Those are things that could be really irritating.
Amanda Palmer
While we're over here blocked up in our departments and locked up in our own judgments and dealing with our own crazy problems, they're over there dealing with equivalent problems. One of the things that I am so frightened by lately is that men are having just as difficult a time striking a balance as we are.
