Those who can ask without shame are viewing themselves in collaboration with-rather than in competition with-the world.
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.
Amanda Palmer
Image
I think being a woman in any business that's dominated by men, you have your garden variety pros and cons, where you learn how to focus and harness your various powers and weaknesses for better or for good.
Amanda Palmer
Image
Comparing yourself to the people like you, comparing yourself to the people who aren't like you, looking at how many records you've sold, looking at the venue size you're selling out. None of that can even remotely measure how happy you are.
Amanda Palmer
Image
It’s not easy to ask… asking makes you vulnerable.
Amanda Palmer
Image
The perfect tools aren't going to help us if we can't face each other and give and receive fearlessly, but more important, to ask without shame.
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
I have never in my career embarked on a journey towards controversy. I have never deliberately set a flame.
Amanda Palmer
Image
I firmly believe in music being as free as possible. Unlocked. Shared and spread. In order for artists to survive and create, their audiences need to step up and directly support them.
Amanda Palmer
Image
Eat the pain. Send it back into the void as love.
Amanda Palmer
Image
You're not going to be perfect, you're not going to stop berating yourself, you're not going to stop the comparisons, you're not going to stop the judgment, but you can become evermore mindful of it, and that has to be good enough.
Amanda Palmer
Image
I feel an extraordinary amount of sympathy for anybody working at a major label right now because their lives are over.
Amanda Palmer
Image
I feel like if I were to play the game completely and just get myself in a giant bottle of nail polish and put myself on display, I would feel like I had somehow cosmically lost. I feel like I'm taking a bunch of the ingredients and using some of them but not all of them and shuffling around and making people think I'm doing my job.

When you trust people to help you, they often do.
Amanda Palmer
Image
I kind of rely on my artist friends to make my physical music worth buying by having them all come together and create beautiful artwork that everyone is gonna want to own to support my record.
Amanda Palmer
Image
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
Image
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.

Image
I still get laughed at but it doesn't bother me, I'm just so glad to hear laughter around me.
Amanda Palmer
Image
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
When you're afraid of someone's judgment, you can't connect with them. You're too preoccupied with the task of impressing them.
