Anything a wife should do, I'm terrible at. Anything a mistress should do, I'll try.
Tori Amos
Image
Some people are afraid of what they might find if they try to analyze themselves too much, but you have to crawl into your wounds to discover where your fears are. Once the bleeding starts, the cleansing can begin.
Tori Amos

Our generation has an incredible amount of realism, yet at the same time it loves to complain and not really change. Because, if it does change, then it won't have anything to complain about.
Tori Amos
Image
I think there are pieces of me you've never seen.
Tori Amos
Image
Let's be honest. You let yourself be pulled in because it felt good to be wanted, needed. But then it went too far, as projected images always do. If it's not a real image, but one that has been projected on to you, then you can keep up the masquerade for only so long before the mask cracks and the paint on the mask peels away.

This was a time frame when dance music and clubs were having a real impact on culture, and it had an impact on me.
Tori Amos
Image
I've never felt anything that moves me as much as my piano. I'm an emotional player. I don't really like people. I prefer my piano to people. It's totally reliable and it's alive. I can hear what it's saying.

Hair is gray and the firers are burning. So many dreams on the shelf. You say I wanted you to be proud of me. I always wanted that myself.
Tori Amos

You're just an empty cage girl, if you kill the bird.
Tori Amos
Image
I am the worst influence. If you can't handle your vices, then I am the Devil.
Tori Amos
Image
I don't want to sit on the sidelines and not value the gift of being here. Instead of the idea of time ticking away, the grains of sand running out, I try to think of time as giving me another grain of sand, another gift. So time passing is an accumulation, rather than a diminishing.
Tori Amos
Image
For many years, I shut down that place inside myself that needed to rage, cry, ask questions and basically just express herself. I made a conscious choice when I put (the song) 'Me and a Gun' on the record not to stay a victim anymore.
Tori Amos
Image
I used to get really pissed off that my life was so dictated by when this Jesus guy was born and when he was dying every year. I felt really resentful that I couldn't get on with my own life because I was so busy with his.

After a while of getting jerked around, you realize what the business is really made up of.

A key to keeping your husband is getting him to miss you. That keeps a marriage fresh.

In my new life, no room for a lost boy.

The pop world has really opened its doors.
Tori Amos
Image
There are things that I refuse to deal with except through my music... because I don't trust humanity that much, and I don't know if I trust me that much. But I trust the songs.

Adolescence is that time when I think, it can be- it's the cruelest place on Earth. It can really be heartless.
