I started playing the piano when I was about two and got a scholarship to the Peabody Conservatory of Music in Baltimore when I was five. But I left when I was 11.

My brother was a fantastic cheerleader for my development as a musician. He was almost 10 years older than me and would really push me to develop as a songwriter.

Some people say, I'd give anything to be 30 again. Well, I really wouldn't. I didn't enjoy being 30.

Tori Amos 422 quotes

I would love to compose something for dance before I kick the bucket, and I'm not closed-minded about the dance, or the dance company.

Tori Amos 422 quotes

Not everybody wants to have t...

Not everybody wants to have the same career. I think what's difficult is when you have two people that do something very, very similar and they both, say, want the limelight. That's very tricky.

Tori Amos 422 quotes

Women shouldn’t deny their da...

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 422 quotes

In life, sometimes everything...

In life, sometimes everything falls into place, and sometimes everything just falls to pieces. The key is to begin creating with these fallen pieces. By improvising, you'll create something magical that might be the best thing you've ever accomplished

Tori Amos 422 quotes

I call that god the Little G....

I call that god the Little G. Because the god that we've been worshipping is not to me the Supreme Creator. Anybody who needs to control and make people feel ashamed. . .It's like, 'I send my only begotten son. . .' Well you know, that concept of sending a son where we as women could, like, breastfeed him and give him milk, but he's not gonna soil his dinky with us? What's that all about?

Tori Amos 422 quotes

It's emotional blackmail to say if you're a good businesswoman and a musician, you're betraying your music.

Tori Amos 422 quotes

I think all the boys that wri...

I think all the boys that write the screaming stuff would write the best love songs... because they have the most to hide. The guys that are in the most pain are usually the ones with the biggest hearts.

Tori Amos 422 quotes

You decide whether you look at your reality or live pretending these feelings don't exist.

Tori Amos 422 quotes

I am finding that vulnerabili...

I am finding that vulnerability gives me great strength, because you're not hiding anymore. It's really about being a pioneer for myself, going into the places where I am not being taught. I have to teach myself.

Tori Amos 422 quotes

We can all choose to become o...

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 422 quotes

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 422 quotes

I see the dream and I see the nightmare, and I believe you can't have the dream without the nightmare.

Tori Amos 422 quotes

People think I'm nuts because I can sit in a room and be happy by myself.

Tori Amos 422 quotes

I do believe that we all are,...

I do believe that we all are, fundamentally, divided creatures. Emotions split from intellect, spirit from flesh and far too often sexuality is disconnected from what we feel, and are, as total human beings. But how, for example, can anyone have an understanding of the virgin if they don't also have an understanding of the prostitute, the saint and sinner in one body?

Tori Amos 422 quotes

I'm not somebody that gets pl...

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 422 quotes

I've never felt anything that moves me as much as my piano. I'm an emotional player. I don't really like people. I prefer my piano to people. It's totally reliable and it's alive. I can hear what it's saying.

I wanna smash the faces of those beautiful boys, those Christian boys.
