Tori Amos
Cornwall is one of the most beautiful places, with great people - there's not a great downside to it.
Tori Amos
There are things that I refuse to deal with except through my music... because I don't trust humanity that much, and I don't know if I trust me that much. But I trust the songs.
Tori Amos
I produce the records. I don't hand over control to some really expensive producer who then talks to the record company and then tries to bend me to their will - for commercial purposes.
Tori Amos
We are all fairies living underneath a leaf of a lily pad.
Tori Amos

Tori Amos
I've carved out a career for myself really as a writer.
Tori Amos

Tori Amos
If you really want a challenge, just deal with yourself.
Tori Amos

Tori's my legal name. My niece and nephews, they all call me Aunt Ellen, because I went by my middle name years ago, before I turned 18.
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
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
So, you can make me come, that doesn't make you Jesus.
Tori Amos
