Amos: "I think you have to know who you

are. Get to know the monster that lives in 

your soul. Dive deep into your soul and 

explore it."

Amos: "When you're growing up ... having 

an imagination is not really encouraged. ... 

Most [people] have cut out that part of 

themselves that still imagines ... more than 

just [what is] functional. ... [A purely 

functional life] is not living, that’s being 

dead."

Amos: "All the problems start at the 

individual level. ... It all goes back to 

dealing with yourself. Because when you 

do, your needs change. ... You call 

different things to you."

Amos: "I have many sides. ... It’s finding a 

balance with all these different sides of 

myself. I kind of invite 'em over for a plate 

of spaghetti. Have 'em all at the table."

Trent Reznor: "Tori Amos ... I always

respected her work a lot."

Morrissey: "Age shouldn't affect you. It's

 just like the size of your shoes - they don't 

determine how you live your life!"

 Morrissey: "I'm lying in my bed and I think about life and I think about death and neither one particularly appeals to me."

Morrissey: "At the end of the day, sexual terms just segregate people, it's all monotonous and an insult to their individuality."

Morrissey: "Everything I am was conceived in [my] room. Everything that makes me is in there."

The Face: "[He spent] years of teenage trauma and monastic introversion, alone in his room with the Complete Works of Oscar Wilde."
