It's about realizing, painfully, you've kept that voice inside yourself, locked away from even yourself. And you step back and see that your jailer has changed faces. You realize you've become your own jailer.

More quotes by Tori Amos
If you know me so well, tell me which hand that I use.
Tori Amos
On some of my darkest days, Lucifer's the one who comes and gives me an ice cream.
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
I don't own a computer. I have a nine-foot piano in my home to compose my messages. Why would I want a one-foot computer to do the same thing?
Tori Amos
Music is always a reflection of what's going on in the hearts and minds of the culture.
Tori Amos
I was fascinated to think about a place where men could be the mothers and I thought of my own song-writing and I decided to have a relationship with their daughters.
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
You're just an empty cage girl, if you kill the bird.
Tori Amos
I'm too young for a man, but I'm too old for a boy. So, can't we just pretend, that I'm older than I really am, but then, only little girls pretend.
Tori Amos
I guess you go too far when pianos try to be guitars.
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
We are all fairies living underneath a leaf of a lily pad.
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
I hurt myself today to see if I could feel. I hurt myself, you said to try to make him feel. So I hurt myself again to see if he'd see me. I hurt myself again and no, he never could see me.
Tori Amos
In my new life, no room for a lost boy.
Tori Amos
There's room for everybody on the planet to be creative and conscious if you are your own person. If you're trying to be like somebody else, then there is isn't.
Tori Amos
There were times that I needed to go to battle, but how I went to battle wasn't always the best way in.
Tori Amos
If you can surrender your protection devices, in order to track the potentially raw and perhaps elusive emotions that are the song's DNA, then that is creative vulnerability, which is ultimately hugely empowering.
Tori Amos
An ounce of breast milk is even more potent than the finest tequila.
Tori Amos
I'm trying not to move, it's just your ghost passing through
