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.

More quotes by Amanda Palmer
I was just a very dark kid. My family was complicated.
Amanda Palmer
Nothing is crueller than children who come from good homes.
Amanda Palmer
In both the art and the business worlds, the difference between the amateurs and the professionals is simple: The professionals know they're winging it. The amateurs pretend they're not.
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 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
On many days, harder than the act of making the art itself is the act of sharing it and living in a culture that you know is built to tear you down.
Amanda Palmer
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.
Amanda Palmer
How do we let people pay for music?
Amanda Palmer
We can only connect the dots we collect, which makes everything you write about you... your connections are the thread that you weave into the cloth that becomes the story that only you can tell.
Amanda Palmer
I think performance art comes from a simple place of wanting to express things beyond just sound.
Amanda Palmer
The challenge is to just focus on what's actually happening, focus on the people who get it, and focus on the people who are listening.
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
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
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
We are human and our nature is to air...
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
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 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
I'm a massive fan of David Lynch and 'Twin Peaks.'
Amanda Palmer
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.
