More quotes by Tori Amos
Women shouldn’t deny their dark side. Sometimes those demons are frightening and sometimes they’re beautiful. You’ll have to approach them. Drink a glass of wine with them, take them for a walk on the beach, examine yourself.
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
Music is always a reflection of what's going on in the hearts and minds of the culture.
Tori Amos
She's been everybody else's girl, maybe one day she'll be her own.

Tori Amos

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
When you stop putting yourself on the line, and you don't touch your own heart, how do you expect to touch other people?
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
I've carved out a career for myself really as a writer.
Tori Amos
We can all choose to become our potential, not just talk about it or dream about it. But daily, make a shift whereby we begin living and being our potential. With each day, that potential can expand because we are open to learning something every day.
Tori Amos
Never was a cornflake girl Thought it was a good solution: hanging with the raisin girls.
Tori Amos
Your apocalypse was fab.
Tori Amos
I believe in rainbows and all of that. But there are darker colors and it's the shade that defines the light.
Tori Amos
I think that other people covering my work is really exciting... Im really open to that kind of thing because I think interpretation is an art form.
Tori Amos
After a while of getting jerked around, you realize what the business is really made up of.
