Healing takes courage, and we all have courage, even if we have to dig a little to find it.

That’s how girls are, boys. We're cunts. We won't talk about what you are, that's a whole other thing, you know. At least it's far more devious and interesting on our end.

I'm not one to give the record company my blessing and do what they think is best. I don't think that anybody knows what's best except the composer or the midwives of the songs themselves.

I used to have a lot of horrible, horrible battles, 'cause for years they told me that this girl and her piano was never gonna happen.

I remember saying something about Jesus once where I go, "I really like that guy." And I got a talking to for 45-minutes in front of everybody about referring to Jesus as "that guy." And I said, "Well, he's a guy, isn't he? I mean I, what's the big deal?"

Artists can document time in different ways to political journalists. Artists are not always about proven facts. They're about opening up your imagination. And activating your resilience and remembering that you have that.

It takes me a good year, a good year and a half I guess if we consider when I started writing to make a record. I'm a slow-poke you know, it just takes me time to get it right.

I think that you have to start feeling like everybody deserves to express themselves. And if you want to musically, to develop a style is to just keep trying all sorts of things out, whether it's beating on pots or, you know, talking, even talking lyrics over chords and stuff.

I mean, daily, you have moments of feeling that you didn't say what you wanted to say, like you copped out on yourself. My songs are really about a relationship with your own self, which nobody really talks about, because they think it's too airy fairy and new age.

I am fascinated by belief systems and separating how the institutions have manipulated these theologies. I find that being a minister's daughter was a great gift because I saw the dark side of Christianity.

The idea is to rescue myself from the role of a victim. That I have a choice left. Though I can't change what has happened, I can choose how to react. And I don't want to spend the rest of my life being bitter and locked up.

I was never interested in learning about pianists. I was more inspired by the guitar. And when you do stylistically on your piano what you've seen from guitarists, you get an altogether different style of playing. For me it was a way of expanding my vocabulary.

I think as a musician you're always trying to do new stuff. I just remember being a little kid, playing and going, "God, one day I hope I can keep challenging myself as a musician no matter what's happening on the commercial scene, because you can't be a hostage to that."

I think I work with energy, and understand how to do that.

Tori Amos News from Utzdented ♥
While there's a break in the ticket action, let's all sit back and take in the fact that Tori's third solo album, the magnificent Boys for Pele, has now been in the world for 30 years! It was released on January 22nd in the UK and the next day in North America. #TeamNoun

As a player, it's about learning a language, a music language. And at a really young age, I had multi-culture coming into my ears, so that was a real gift, and I thank my mother for that. My mother's part Cherokee, so there's a real gift in that.

There are places I would not put myself in again with men. I'm beginning to feel that I can go certain places I haven't been to before without feeling inept, without making me feel like I'm nothing.

Really good tragedy has to have a giggle in it. It's like, with loud music, you have to have a moment - just a moment - of silence. You have to alter the dynamics so you can appreciate the loudness again. So that it means something.

The exposure on alternative radio has been really good fun, because, as a piano player, you wouldn't think I'd be up their street.
