Tori Amos Girl Quotations

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 don't mind a dirty girl. But what I find tragic is when we, as women, become not the subject of our own story but someone else's object.

I'm a musician first, a food-lover second, a dirty mouth with feet, and a girl last time I checked.

What girls do to each other is beyond description. No chinese torture comes close.

I can see how the young girls really get hurt when their moms are critical, or vice versa when they're overly critical of their moms. It can be so painful.

Never was a cornflake girl; Thought it was a good solution: hanging with the raisin girls.

You're just an empty cage girl, if you kill the bird.

The last thing I want to be known as is 'The Girl Who Got Raped'. The big turn around you make in your head is from victim to survivor.

She's been everybody else's girl, maybe one day she'll be her own.

Everybody told me this 'girl on the piano' thing was never going to work.

From in the shadow she calls. And in the shadow she finds a way, finds a way. And in the shadow she crawls, clutching her faded photograph. My image under her thumb. Yes with a message for my heart. She’s been everybody else’s girl maybe one day she’ll be her own.

I'm too young for a man, but I'm too old for a boy. So, can't we just pretend, that I'm older than I really am, but then, only little girls pretend.

I'm a winter girl. I like coming out when things are desolate and everybody's ready to slit their wrists.

If all I can say is I'm not in this swamp, I'm not in this swamp then there is not a rope in front of me and there is not an alligator behind me and there is not a girl sitting at the edge eating a hot dog and if I believe that, then dying would be the only answer because then Death couldn't come and say Peachy to me anymore and after all she has a brother who believes in hope.

Girls you've gotta know when it's time to turn the page.
