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.

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

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.

Image
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.

Take on the pain and wear it as a shirt.
Amanda Palmer

Those who can ask without shame are viewing themselves in collaboration with-rather than in competition with-the world.
Amanda Palmer
Image
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
Image
I don't feel at home in New Orleans. I don't feel at home in Austin or L.A. And I just felt immediately at home in northern Australia.
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 crave intimacy to the same burning degree that I detest commitment.
Amanda Palmer
Image
I hate being ignored.

I think I've always felt as a band and as a musician and a music business person, I've always felt like an outsider, period.
