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

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

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 think one of the greatest gifts you can give to someone is just access to the possibility of freedom that you don't have to be totally depressed and enslaved by your own environment.

There are so many people, so many artists, so many magazines, so many theater companies, so many people trying to raise money for so many things that it's easy to look around and just feel powerless or helpless, because even if you have some resources, you can't help everybody.

I think a good role model has to be sexy. Real, empowered, self-possessed women are sexy. When you're really in control of your choices, your mood, your body, and your opinions, people find you sexy.

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
I'm a massive fan of David Lynch and 'Twin Peaks.'
Amanda Palmer
Image
Those who can ask without shame are viewing themselves in collaboration with-rather than in competition with-the world.

If you love people enough, they will give you everything.
Amanda Palmer
Image
I suppose I'm happy to sell my time and energy, but I'm not happy to sell my initial creative time.
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
I get really fantastic results when I just get out of my own way.
Amanda Palmer
Image
Sometimes I have a terrible feeling that I am dying not from the virus, but from being untouchable.

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.

It would nice to live in a world where art can just be art!
