More quotes by Tori Amos

Tori Amos
You're just an empty cage girl, if you kill the bird.
Tori Amos
Many people lock a part of themselves away. It's a bit sacred.

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
When you stop putting yourself on the line, and you don't touch your own heart, how do you expect to touch other people?
Tori Amos
Being able to still make records is a privilege. I don't take it casually.
