The last thing I want to be known as is ‘The Girl Who Got Raped’. The big turn around you make in your head is from victim to survivor.

Tori Amos

I have a great relationship with my mother-in-law. We’re both Leos, we understand each other.
TORI AMOS

Great Law Mother Relationship
The word ‘confession,’ to me, means needing to be absolved. I’m not asking for forgiveness. I’m not asking people to understand. I’d like to think that I tell stories and sometimes my life weaves through it.
TORI AMOS

Mean People Thinking
I don’t see myself as weird, I just see myself as honest.

Honest Myself Weird
Somebody will come backstage and go, ‘You saved me.’ And I will have to say, ‘Stop right there. You saved yourself.’

Backstage Saved Stop
Being in your forties – any woman who isn’t there yet, I just have to say to you: Euphoria is coming to you.
TORI AMOS

Coming Euphoria Forty
After a while, though, you realize that a whole slew of young singer-songwriter piano players are getting compared to you. That’s when you feel the passage of time is occurring.

Humanity Song Trust
I guess you go too far when pianos try to be guitars.
TORI AMOS

Guitar Piano Trying
There is value in everybody’s gift. No matter how hard to find or strange it is.

Hard Matter Strange
A guitarist or a drummer can get a cold and still play; I get a cold and sound like a wet mitten trying to sing you a love song. Charming.
TORI AMOS

Music Play Song
If I was writing songs just for me I’d only play them in my living room, alone.

The way I see it, the men that I’m with, whoever they are, it’s like look, you have to accept the fact that I like ice cream, and I know it shows up on my hips but if you can’t accept that, then leave. Go away, toodles. It is non-negotiable.
TORI AMOS

Away Going Ice Cream Men
Don’t give up. Don’t listen to these foolish critics that are so small minded they don’t get it tonight.
TORI AMOS

Foolish Giving Minded Tonight
I don’t really cook. There are caterers, and my husband cooks.
TORI AMOS

Caterers Cooks Husband
I became a mom at 37 and having a child has been an emancipation for me.
TORI AMOS

Children Mom Mother
If you can’t create physical life, you find a life force. If that’s in music, that’s in music. I started to find this deep, primitive rhythm, and I started to move to it. And I held hands with sorrow, and I danced with her, and we giggled a bit.
