More quotes by Amanda Palmer
Art is food for the soul, and an artistic climate is a healthy climate because it breeds empathy.
Amanda Palmer
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.
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
There's a huge cloud of shame around art and business being seen as bedfellows.
Amanda Palmer
All of my music, my stage show, my personality, my blog, my twitter feed, anything that's made me me, and a huge part of why people like and respect me, is that I just don't spend much energy on that other stuff. It's not worth it. It's a losing battle too. You're just screwed the minute you engage.
Amanda Palmer
How you sound. How you look. Are you fat? Those are things that could be really irritating.
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
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 kind of rely on my artist friends to make my physical music worth buying by having them all come together and create beautiful artwork that everyone is gonna want to own to support my record.
Amanda Palmer
The challenge in my life really is keeping the balance between feeling creatively energized and fulfilled without feeling overwhelmed and like Im in the middle of a battlefield.
Amanda Palmer
The impulse to connect the dots - and to share what you've connected - is the urge that makes you an artist
Amanda Palmer
If we can repair things emotionally, a lot of other things would follow.
Amanda Palmer
I feel like if I were to play the game completely and just get myself in a giant bottle of nail polish and put myself on display, I would feel like I had somehow cosmically lost. I feel like I'm taking a bunch of the ingredients and using some of them but not all of them and shuffling around and making people think I'm doing my job.
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
I am bigger on the inside But you have to come inside to see me
Amanda Palmer
There's something advantageous about being a woman in rock versus, say, a woman in chemistry or construction. There's definitely a built-in sexism across the board, but I think you're afforded a degree of freedom in rock because, historically, the rules have been flexible.
Amanda Palmer
Sometimes I have a terrible feeling that I am dying not from the virus, but from being untouchable.
Amanda Palmer
I have a handful of really close relationships in my life and I depend on those people heavily to carry me through and to help me stay steady.
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.
Amanda Palmer
I maintain couchsurfing and crowdsurfing are basically the same thing — you're falling into the audience and you're trusting each other.
