Tori Amos
Image
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
Image
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.

People assume that all artists make for terrible business people, but I'm in complete charge of my own career.
Tori Amos

People can be quite bullish with their opinions. That does not mean they have their finger on the pulse. It just means they value their own opinion.
Tori Amos
Image
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.
Tori Amos
