More quotes by Tori Amos
I think everyone understands grief, the journey it takes us on, whether it's the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, a disappointment. Some people don't deal with it, the power of it. Some do. Some feel the weight of it and it informs their choices. I've had to open up to grief in different contexts.
Tori Amos
I don't mind a dirty girl. But what I find tragic is when we, as women, become not the subject of our own story but someone else's object.
Tori Amos
I'm not somebody that gets played a lot at parties and weddings. I mean, you know, you mention my name and you get an eye roll, until, of course, you're jumping off a bridge.
Tori Amos
I've had to keep exploring different ways of presenting the music so I don't repeat myself.
Tori Amos
Healing for me is being able to sit next to the butcher and say 'Yes, I’m sitting next to the butcher now,' instead of saying 'there is no butcher'.
Tori Amos
Musically, I always allow myself to jump off of cliffs. At least that's what it feels like to me. Whether that's what it actually sounds like might depend on what the listener brings to the songs.
Tori Amos
The way I see it, the men that I'm with, whoever they are, it's like look, you have to accept the fact that I like ice cream, and I know it shows up on my hips but if you can't accept that, then leave. Go away, toodles. It is non-negotiable.
Tori Amos
The sun is getting dim, will I pay for who I've been?
Tori Amos
You don't have to justify everything. Being pissed off is just absolutely okay.
Tori Amos
If you are a nurturing mother, and a good one, you can go to play groups, sit on the floor and play all the games, and have tea with the other mothers, but wouldn't you like to think that's not all there is? That you haven't hung up your high heels without knowing how to walk in them?
Tori Amos
Your worst enemies are made when you ignore people. Those boys in America who shot dead classmates recently, didn't do that because they woke up with a positive self image that morning and then felt like slaughtering their friends.
Tori Amos
I would love to compose something for dance before I kick the bucket, and I'm not closed-minded about the dance, or the dance company.
Tori Amos
You don't know the power that you have with that tear in your hand
Tori Amos
Sometimes I breathe you in and I know you know.
Tori Amos
Music is always a reflection of what's going on in the hearts and minds of the culture.
Tori Amos
I know I'm an acquired taste - I'm anchovies. And not everybody wants those hairy little things.
Tori Amos
My ears are huge. If there's ever a problem with a plane I'm on, they could just put me on the wing and I'll land the sucker.
Tori Amos
I don't allow challenges to trip me up.
Tori Amos
It's emotional blackmail to say if you're a good businesswoman and a musician, you're betraying your music.
Tori Amos
When I was little, my mom tells me, I used to say things like, 'Mom do you hear the string section? Do you hear the string section?' And she would look at me and say, 'No honey, I don't know what you're talking about.'
