I think you can't have this discussion and you can't have a discussion about feminism and the consciousness of the world without having a discussion about what has happened to men lately. They're holding the other side of the bag.

We are human and our nature is to air...

There's really no honor in proving that you can carry the entire load on your own shoulders. Andit's lonely.

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.

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.

Asking for help with shame says: You have the power over me. Asking with condescension says: I have the power over you. But asking for help with gratitude says: We have the power to help each other.

Bands like Nirvana had theatrical sensibilities, playing with image, challenging assumptions people were making about them, the apex being Kurt Cobain in a dress to make a point.

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

I want to live in a world where Miley (or any female musician) can twerk wildly at 20, wear a full-cover floral hippie mumu at 37, show up at 47 in see-through latex, and pose semi-naked, like Keith & co, on the cover of Rolling Stone at 57 and be APPLAUDED for being so comfortable with her body.

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

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.

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.

Image
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
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.

Life as it should be: all friends, all art, all music, all love, all the time.
Amanda Palmer
Image
I think I can define my entire life, virtuosity and business philosophy down to the core fundamental that I absolutely hate being told what to do. But like any artist or any human being out there, I desperately want to be loved, and I spend my entire life trying to balance those two facts.

I have never in my career embarked on a journey towards controversy. I have never deliberately set a flame.
Amanda Palmer
Image
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.

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

Those who can ask without shame are viewing themselves in collaboration with-rather than in competition with-the world.

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