Tori Amos
I like involved projects.
Tori Amos
The most important thing to me as a songwriter is the breath. The most important thing I could say to somebody is, 'Sometimes I just breathe you in.'
Tori Amos
The music is the magic carpet that other things take naps on.
Tori Amos
What girls do to each other is beyond description. No chinese torture comes close.
Tori Amos
I'm a mother, and that's really important. Today, the mother and the musician can sit next to each other. Even when the musician is out there in full swing, the mother doesn't get switched off.
Tori Amos
I felt sidelined by the industry, by the preoccupation with finding something newer, younger.
Tori Amos
I think even in a good marriage, especially if you stay together long enough, there are going to be events that happen.
