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.

More quotes by Amanda Palmer
You know, there are so many snarky angry critics out there who are just sort of looking to tear down whoever is getting talked about.
Amanda Palmer
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.
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
If your writing is good, if it resonates, if it connects the dots for anybody out there, the lovers will come, the haters will come, support will come — sometimes in the form of money, sometimes in the form of something less expected — and it balances.
Amanda Palmer
How you sound. How you look. Are you fat? Those are things that could be really irritating.
Amanda Palmer
Those who can ask without shame are viewing themselves in collaboration with-rather than in competition with-the world.
Amanda Palmer
I am bigger on the inside But you have to come inside to see me
Amanda Palmer
Art is food for the soul, and an artistic climate is a healthy climate because it breeds empathy.
Amanda Palmer
Nobody ever sees me. Thank you.
Amanda Palmer
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.
Amanda Palmer
I had very literal parents and I wanted to survive with metaphor and art, and there was a real sense of shame around it.
Amanda Palmer
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.
Amanda Palmer
While we're over here blocked up in our departments and locked up in our own judgments and dealing with our own crazy problems, they're over there dealing with equivalent problems. One of the things that I am so frightened by lately is that men are having just as difficult a time striking a balance as we are.
Amanda Palmer
I get really fantastic results when I just get out of my own way.
Amanda Palmer
Meditation, especially for people who dont know very much about it and think its this very hippy dippy thing, can really be powerful, terrifying even, as it lifts the rug up on your subconscious and the dust comes flying out.
Amanda Palmer
Nothing is crueller than children who come from good homes.
Amanda Palmer
For most of human history, musicians, artists, they've been part of the community — connectors and openers, not untouchable stars.
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
How do we let people pay for music?
Amanda Palmer
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.
