Tori Amos

“Tori's my legal name. My niece and nephews, they all call me Aunt Ellen, because I went by my middle name years ago, before I turned 18.”

“I remember driving to North Carolina when I was a little girl in a snowstorm to get down to my mom's family in the Carolinas. There were chains on the car - it was the late sixties - and we were just singing in the car. Christmas carols.”

“I have so many different personalities in me and I still feel lonely.”

“If I was writing songs just for me I'd only play them in my living room, alone.”

“I had a very strict upbringing with my dad and was very close to my mum, who was extremely loving.”

“You can be self-empowered and still learning about how you think about things daily.”

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