Tori Amos Zitate

seite 3

“An angel's face is tricky to wear constantly.”

“Just what God needs: one more victim.
Why do we crucify ourselves?”

“Yeah, there was a period in the late '80s where I was working with different shaman. Myself and a friend, Beene, would take ayahuasca - but it wouldn't be in the liquid form, it would be a freeze-dried pill - and mushrooms. Some of those trips were eighteen hours long and I'll never forget, once I ended up sitting by the bush trying to ask the flowers why they didn't like me. It's like, Why can't I be your friend? I was crawling out of my skin at that time. In my twenties I was really… I was just losing my mind.”

“You thought that you were the bomb, yes well so did I.”

“Look, I'm standing naked before you;
Don't you want more than my sex?
I can scream as loud as your last one,
But I can't claim innocence.”

“If I saw someone destroy a piano I'd fuckin' kill 'em. Wouldn't think twice. [It's] Just defending your best friend!”

“If you know me so well, then tell me which hand I use.”

“Is it sweet, your sting?”

“So if I die today, I'll be the happy phantom,
And I'll go chasing the nuns out in the yard,
…And the atrocities of school I can forgive:
The happy phantom has no right to bitch.”

“I love my Saab.”
