I am the worst influence. If you can't handle your vices, then I am the Devil.
Tori Amos

If it's not a real image, but one that has been projected on to you, then you can keep up the masquerade for only so long before the mask cracks and the paint on the mask peels away.
Tori Amos
Image
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
Image
My fear is greater than my faith, but I walk the missionary way.
Tori Amos
Image
Being able to still make records is a privilege. I don't take it casually.
Tori Amos
Image
My father was strict, but he recognised my ability and got a lot of flak from the church for supporting me.
Tori Amos
Image
Over the last few hours I've allowed myself to feel defeated, and just like she said if you allow yourself to feel the way you really feel, maybe you won't be afraid of that feeling anymore.
Tori Amos
Image
So close to touching freedom, then I hear the guards call my name
Tori Amos
Image
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
Image
After a while of getting jerked around, you realize what the business is really made up of.
Tori Amos
Image
And is it right, butterfly, they like you better framed and dried?
Tori Amos
Image
I'm a winter girl. I like coming out when things are desolate and everybody's ready to slit their wrists.
