Tori Amos Quotes:
"I know I'm an acquired taste: I'm anchovies. And not everyone wants those hairy little things. If I was potato chips, I could go more places."

"I'm too wacky for most weirdos, who am I to judge?"

"The music is the magic carpet that other things take naps on."

"I just try to strip myself, peel myself like an onion. At different layers I discover stuff. I do it publicly, and if it helps to inspire somebody else, which inspires somebody else, we're talking about a really exciting world here."

After breast-feeding her daughter for the first time: "An ounce of breast milk is even more potent then the finest tequila."

Commentary on the September 11th, 2001 terrorist attacks on America: "Don't you think it's really important now that there's a forum, that we're talking about all sides of what happened September 11 and what led up to it? We need to do some research; we need to think about, Why is the world where it is? It's so deep-rooted, if we really start looking, and we might not like what we find. But I think we have to, we have to ask the questions."
