More quotes by Tori Amos
I'm too wacky for most weirdos. Who am I to judge?
Tori Amos
There is an energy that you carry when you're nurturing another life where you're protecting first - and once you know that cub is out of the way of the hunter's gun, you can be a little more daring.
Tori Amos
If you are a nurturing mother, and a good one, you can go to play groups, sit on the floor and play all the games, and have tea with the other mothers, but wouldn't you like to think that's not all there is? That you haven't hung up your high heels without knowing how to walk in them?
Tori Amos
In real life I'm bone dry and when I play I'm a mango and in sex I'm starving to be a dripping mango
Tori Amos
Dance with the sufis, celebrate your top ten in the charts of pain.
Tori Amos
Some people are afraid of what they might find if they try to analyze themselves too much, but you have to crawl into your wounds to discover where your fears are. Once the bleeding starts, the cleansing can begin.
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
I don't allow challenges to trip me up.
Tori Amos
To me glamour isn't about being sparkly.
Tori Amos
I don't want to give too much ink to foolish men.
Tori Amos
As the sun sets, we've all had those nights where you question your choices and where your life is going.
Tori Amos
I don't know what a shrink would call me. I don't want to know.
Tori Amos
You don't have to justify anything. Being pissed off is absolutely ok.
Tori Amos
Somebody will come backstage and go, 'You saved me.' And I will have to say, 'Stop right there. You saved yourself.'
Tori Amos
My favorite saying is, 'If it's too loud, turn it up.'
Tori Amos
I'm not somebody that gets played a lot at parties and weddings. I mean, you know, you mention my name and you get an eye roll, until, of course, you're jumping off a bridge.
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
I'm really quite happy to say that in my early 40s, I wake up feeling sexy, and I can't say I felt that way in my late 20s.
Tori Amos
I don't own a computer. I have a nine-foot piano in my home to compose my messages. Why would I want a one-foot computer to do the same thing?
Tori Amos
When we get in a routine we can become zombie-like and shut down.
