Tori Amos Art Quotations

I've got tonnes of aboriginal and Native American art, but I'd like even more.

The romantic myth of the artist says that you are the Source. I have no illusion about that. Native Americans don't believe they are the Source. They have access to the Source. Endless access. But don't get confused.

You're only popular with anorexia.

Your apocalypse was fab.

The rain is sharp today, as you shock me sane.

Dance with the sufis, celebrate your top ten in the charts of pain.

I collect art books. I have hundreds and hundreds of them and they get me to start hearing things. Sometimes people look at them, but I find that visual art gets me listening, gets me hearing things.

Sometimes listening to music can motivate you. It can. But if you're a musician, that isn't always the way to get new ideas because you don't want to take somebody else's ideas. You need to find your own. So if you go to different artistic mediums, whether it's dance or it's visual arts or films or books, stories, sometimes it gets you hearing things, hearing progressions that you wouldn't come up with if you were just listening to other music because you don't want to copy progressions you've just heard.

Sometimes, I think Trent just needs a cup of hot chocolate and a blankie.

I think that other people covering my work is really exciting... Im really open to that kind of thing because I think interpretation is an art form...
