I love the classic crooners, but I got that from my mother - she worked in a record store.
From Tori Amos
I'm a conduit for telling people's stories. It's a privilege.
You don't leave people who can't defend themselves.
A lot of songs are derivative of each other.
Music is always a reflection of what's going on in the hearts and minds of the culture.
My mother says I was two-and-a-half when I started playing. My father was a minister, and when he went to church in the morning, she would put on Fats Waller, Billie Holiday, Nat King Cole and Cole Porter records. I'd crawl up on the piano stool, sit on a phone book and play.
My ears are huge. If there's ever a problem with a plane I'm on, they could just put me on the wing and I'll land the sucker.
People listen to music the way they want to listen to music.
You know that saying, bad things don't happen to good people? That's a lie.
Musically, I always allow myself to jump off of cliffs. At least that's what it feels like to me. Whether that's what it actually sounds like might depend on what the listener brings to the songs.
