I'm bisexual, but it's not the sort of thing I spent a lot of time thinking about. I've slept with girls I've slept with guys, so I guess that's what they call it! I'm not anti trying to use language to simplify our lives.

If you want the world to pay for projects, you have to be able to display why you're worthy.

I feel that part of my life's artwork is creatively dealing with all this negativity and anger and rage and hatred coming from whatever corners it's coming from and somehow manifesting all of that anger into something positive, which is such a hard job.

There's a part of me that is really, really happy with all of my success lately because of what it can get me and what it can buy me in the fact that my music will hopefully reach more people. But it also makes me a little bit miserable because the minute the spotlight is on you, people start flinging sh*t at you for whatever reason.

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.

There's a huge cloud of shame around art and business being seen as bedfellows.
Amanda Palmer

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

The world needs actual excitement and emotion more than it needs cool people.

Art is food for the soul, and an artistic climate is a healthy climate because it breeds empathy.
Amanda Palmer

I think performance art comes from a simple place of wanting to express things beyond just sound.
Amanda Palmer

How you sound. How you look. Are you fat? Those are things that could be really irritating.

I maintain couchsurfing and crowdsurfing are basically the same thing — you're falling into the audience and you're trusting each other.

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.

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.

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.

If you love people enough, they will give you everything.
