Tori Amos
I can't believe that I would keep, keep you from flying And I would cry a thousand more if that's what it takes to sail you home.
Tori Amos
I've never felt anything that moves me as much as my piano. I'm an emotional player. I don't really like people. I prefer my piano to people. It's totally reliable and it's alive. I can hear what it's saying.
Tori Amos

Tori Amos

Tori Amos
She's been everybody else's girl, maybe one day she'll be her own.
Tori Amos
On some of my darkest days, Lucifer's the one who comes and gives me an ice cream.
Tori Amos
In my new life, no room for a lost boy.
Tori Amos
So, you can make me come, that doesn't make you Jesus.
Tori Amos
To heal the wound, you have to go into the dark night of the soul.
Tori Amos
My fear is greater than my faith, but I walk the missionary way.
Tori Amos
I don't want to give too much ink to foolish men.
Tori Amos
You know when people smile too much? It's painful. I find it really painful. Happy is not very reliable. I'm trying to live like, um, with a fierce calm.
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.
