More quotes by Tori Amos
I don't want to give too much ink to foolish men.
Tori Amos
The romantic myth of the artist says that you are the Source. I have no illusion about that. Native Americans don't believe they are the Source. They have access to the Source. Endless access. But don't get confused.
Tori Amos
Music is always a reflection of what's going on in the hearts and minds of the culture.
Tori Amos
People assume that all artists make for terrible business people, but I'm in complete charge of my own career.
Tori Amos
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
My father was a preacher in Maryland and we had crab feasts - with corn on the cob, but no beer, being Methodist - outside on the church lawn.
Tori Amos
I'm a grown woman. I've earned my experiences, my scars.
Tori Amos
There's a sea secret in me / it's plain to see it is rising / but I must be flowing liquid diamonds / calling for my soul / at the corners of the world
Tori Amos
The music is the magic carpet that other things take naps on.
Tori Amos
There are enough scary rock & roll mothers in the world.
Tori Amos

Tori Amos
The sun is getting dim, will I pay for who I've been?
Tori Amos
I just hand shoes on the wall. They're architecture you know.
Tori Amos
Tori's my legal name. My niece and nephews, they all call me Aunt Ellen, because I went by my middle name years ago, before I turned 18.
Tori Amos
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.
Tori Amos
That's the thing about letting old lovers go. You don't stop loving some of them. There are a couple you love no less than you ever did. Not to mention namesbut I'm still in love with a couple. You're not going to try and make it work again, but if they needed you, you'd drop everything.
Tori Amos
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.
Tori Amos
Standin' on a corner in Winslow, Arizona, and I'm quite sure I'm in the wrong song.
Tori Amos
Where we focus our energy is where we will get the results.
