I get painted quite a bit as a tragic figure because of some of the stuff that's happened in my life.
Tori AmosI think you need to have people around you whose standard is high and who don't accept anything less.
Tori AmosIt took the love of a good man [to heal]. When I was reverting back into my, let's say, perversions, he would say: 'Let's go get an ice cream. I am not going to enable you. If you can only come as a wanton woman for hire, because you feel dirty and shamed, then no. Women are goddesses.' And I know that and I believe that. I chose a man who believed that, too.
