Tori Amos
When I was little, my mom tells me, I used to say things like, 'Mom do you hear the string section? Do you hear the string section?' And she would look at me and say, 'No honey, I don't know what you're talking about.'
Tori Amos
And maybe she had certain beliefs that if you love somebody, [you're] gonna like them too. And that isn't necessarily true.
Tori Amos
It's fun to write your set list 20 minutes before and keep the crew very much on their toes.
Tori Amos
...Her entire life has been devoted to healing the deepest, most invasive unseeable scar that one can ever have.
Tori Amos
Musically, I always allow myself to jump off of cliffs. At least that's what it feels like to me. Whether that's what it actually sounds like might depend on what the listener brings to the songs.
Tori Amos
Adolescence is that time when I think, it can be- it's the cruelest place on Earth. It can really be heartless.
Tori Amos
I don't know what a shrink would call me. I don't want to know.
