..QUOTES A small collection of Tori quotes. "I'm not a habit. I'm a lifestyle. I will never be a habit for a man. Ever." - on men "I just have one thing to say, to the guy that asked me to marry him. Eh, yknow, don't take it personally, I don't know you, it could be like wonderful, but the point is, if something happened and we fell out, honey, you're not getting the pianos!" - During a concert "I think your own sex can see your sex for what it is. You know the tricks of your own sex. Sometimes you can put your little play glasses on and not want to see them. But I know when another woman is flirting with one of my crew - it's so obvious and yet they can't see it. They say 'oh she's so pained' or 'she's had all this stuff happen to her'. I know a girl like this - who uses her victimness to make people feel they can't do enough for her, that nothing is ever enough. And you're like an addict. You can't spill enough blood, you can't wrap your dick into seventeen different little shapes, y'know, like those balloons. 'Here... look! Puppy! Ice cream truck!' This song is my revenge." - on She's Your Cocaine "Guys would sleep with a bicycle if it had the right color lip gloss on. They have no shame. They're like bull elks in a field." - on men "There is sisterhood" "Some of the most wonderful people are the ones who don't fit into boxes." "My work doesn't relate to the masses. My work is really for the elite. And when I say elite, I mean the mental elite." "What girls do to each other is beyond description. No chinese torture comes close." "You know that saying, bad things don't happen to good people? That's a lie." Don't you believe in infinity? don't you believe in the shape of infinityT That's the bee's dance. That's what the worker bees do. That is their dance. Don't you believe in the mystery of the Magdalene? Don't you believe in this lineage of Demeter? The endless of cycles of mother and daughter? Because wherever she awakes, she's still your mother, even if it's not on this plane. She will always be your mother. - from the Beekeeper DVD "This one's for um.... This one's for one of the most magical people I ever knew. And she would've been here, if she would've been....here. I think she comes and visits me, wherever people go when they leave this planet, I don't know where they go. But sometimes I feel her" - before playing Marianne "But I realized that as I got accepted and as I went that it was very much about, um, training you to be a champion. But not on your terms, not as an individual necessarily. I really wanted to play the music I wanted to play and I wanted to be a composer. Um, because I knew, come on, you're walking down the hallways and you're going bloody hell, these people are 10 times better than I am and they're all playing the same song. So why am I even gonna waste my time - this piece is 23 pages. Do you realize, like, how many Scooby Doo episodes I'm gonna miss if I learn this?" - on the Peabody Conservatory "Orchards are simple. A peach tree says, 'Some of me will be juicy and some of me will be dry I'm not growing for you; I grow because that's what I do.' You always hear some person complain about how dry their peach is and the peach says, 'It's not our fault you have no understanding on the proper use for dry peaches." "I don't know what a shrink would call me. I don't want to know." "I do sound like the little mermaid on acid." "On some of my darkest days, Lucifer's the one who comes and gives me an ice cream." "I'm a musician first, a food-lover second, a dirty mouth with feet, and a girl last time I checked." "I'm the Queen of the Nerds." "The Ladies' Room is a secret society, and when those lipsticks come out it's the heaviest artillery in the world - the guys have no idea what they're in for." "Playing is the only place where I've felt in touch with my sexuality, my sprirtuality and my emotions, and never ever anywhere else. So my life is a bit tricky because when I'm not playing, I'm just trying to walk down the street." "It's like, the other guy may have peanut butter and jelly, but you're the one with the chocolate chip cookies. There's a balance there." "Calm is difficult to conjure up, but not so with rage." "Ultimately, it's about listening to the music. Just listen to the record and rock and get some mojo and go shag your wife. Or just shag yourself." - on American Doll Posse "everybody told me this 'girl on the piano' thing was never going to work." "The reason I love to play Bosendorfers is because I think their whole manufacturing precess is trying to keep them as unmechanical - as unfactoryized - as possible, so that the soul of everybody who touches one or works with it is in there." "The music is the magic carpet that other things take naps on." "Lipstick and Lipgloss, always always. I was in hospital recently and I had my lipgloss in the operating theater." "When I was very little I got into big trouble for wondering if Jesus had a thing going on with Mary Magdalene." "Truly, I was a sweetheart when I was little, like the Honeysuckle Fairy. Sweet. Sweet-pea. But Sweet-peas are not popular after second grade. Sweet-pea becomes Nerd really fast." "If they keep crashing stuff into the moon, the moon's gonna get pissed off, and the tides'll change, and all the women'll start PMS-ing together. Then you guys are going to fucking regret it." • BACK |
