Amanda Palmer quotes - page 2
Every album is just a greatest hits of whatever songs are on a pile when I go in to make a record.
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
It makes me very sad when I find out that people who never hear our music think that we are really about image and not about substance.
Amanda Palmer
I really like Neil a whole, whole, whole lot, and I really do not want to marry Kevin Smith, even a little.

Rock needs theater, rock is theater. We just go through different eras of guilty admission about this.

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.

I write a lot, but it's not all fantastic. There's plenty of terrible crap. We work on a few things at a time, let some things fall away, make changes. We certainly have enough for the next album, which could take at least another year to come out.
Amanda Palmer
Rock needs theater, rock is theater. We just go through different eras of guilty admission about this. Having risen with The Dresden Dolls in the heyday of The Strokes and The White Stripes, everyone was looking at us as completely misfit theater dorks. But it's really encouraging to see a more theater-dork wave of bands like The Scissor Sisters, Antony & The Johnsons, CocoRosie, Patrick Wolf and even Arcade Fire and Decembrists becoming popular. The dress-up freaks are coming back, and it's wonderful to watch.
