There's a richness to the old works if you look before the 1950s. The chord progressions and the language was more complicated, especially in the jazz and classical world.

More quotes by Tori Amos
There's a side to this industry that nurtures divas who can't write. It's a big business.
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
My grandmother really liked virgins. There's nothing wrong with virgins, there's a time and a place for that. I had other things on my mind... like Robert Plant.
Tori Amos
I want to be an integrated woman.
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
We are all fairies living underneath a leaf of a lily pad.
Tori Amos
It's been a thrilling journey - I have had to really learn that an orchestra is an entity - it's a creature. I have been calling it the dragon and the conductor is the dragon tamer. And you just have to ... ride and don't let go and you will be fine.
Tori Amos
Sometimes you need to take a departure from what you do to something that's slightly different in order to get inspiration.
Tori Amos
I think that other people covering my work is really exciting... Im really open to that kind of thing because I think interpretation is an art form.
Tori Amos
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.
Tori Amos
What do you plan to do with all your freedom?
Tori Amos
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
Even if everything else is downplayed, I'll wear good shoes.
Tori Amos
So then I though I'd make some plans, but Fire thought she'd really rather be Water instead.
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
I think there are pieces of me you've never seen.
Tori Amos
I have a great relationship with my mother-in-law. We're both Leos, we understand each other.
Tori Amos
The rain is sharp today, as you shock me sane.
Tori Amos
I guess you go too far when pianos try to be guitars.
Tori Amos
If you call me a new-age, airy-fairy, hippie-dippy airhead I will shove my crystals up your ass.
