Tori Amos quotes about
derivative slightly
A lot of songs are derivative of each other. Sometimes you need to take a departure from what you do to something that's slightly different in order to get inspiration.
form
I'm driven by the idea of characters and the song-cycle form is similar to a musical.
listening
When I am able to be present, listening - really listening - to a viewpoint described through someone else's lens, I am here in the now and alive.
judging weirdo wacky
I'm too wacky for most weirdos. Who am I to judge?
dream
We can all choose to become our potential, not just talk about it or dream about it. But daily, make a shift whereby we begin living and being our potential. With each day, that potential can expand because we are open to learning something every day.
dream pride hair
Hair is gray and the firers are burning. So many dreams on the shelf. You say I wanted you to be proud of me. I always wanted that myself.
zombie routine
When we get in a routine we can become zombie-like and shut down.
dream believe nightmare
I see the dream and I see the nightmare, and I believe you can't have the dream without the nightmare
making-changes valuable being-afraid
Not being afraid to make changes is a valuable tool - knowing you can change back.
inspiring mothers-day thinking
If you are a nurturing mother, and a good one, you can go to play groups, sit on the floor and play all the games, and have tea with the other mothers, but wouldn't you like to think that's not all there is? That you haven't hung up your high heels without knowing how to walk in them?
opinion tricky
Being able to hear an opinion. And then how to apply that opinion is something I am learning and working with every day. What can be tricky is how to differentiate a good suggestion that you should apply to your work [from] someone's personal taste at their opinionated best.
survivor want bitter
Though I can't change what happened, I can choose how to react. And I don't want to spend the rest of my life being bitter and locked up.
pads lilies fairy
We are all fairies living underneath a leaf of a lily pad.
