More quotes by Amanda Palmer
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.
Amanda Palmer
If you love people enough, they will give you everything.
Amanda Palmer
The key is to just focus on the spots where the love is real, because you can just drive yourself crazy focusing on the negativity, focusing on the relationships that are irreparable and just aren't going to work, trying to convince the haters that you are indeed lovable. So much of that is wasted energy.
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
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
Nobody ever sees me. Thank you.
Amanda Palmer
Donald Trump is going to make punk rock great again.
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
If you come across an American artist right now who has no political opinions or is afraid of talking politics, be very concerned.
Amanda Palmer
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.
Amanda Palmer
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.
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
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
I want to be happy. i want to make people happy. i do not need to be rich to do that.
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
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
You know what’s really cool? Wake up every morning, decide what you feel like doing, and do it.
Amanda Palmer
I still get laughed at but it doesn't bother me, I'm just so glad to hear laughter around me.
Amanda Palmer
Thank God my best friend's a therapist.
Amanda Palmer
When you're afraid of someone's judgment, you can't connect with them. You're too preoccupied with the task of impressing them.
Amanda Palmer
