Unrelenting Light - Tori Amos -foorumi

Tori: "People ask me, 'Are you a feminist?' Well, I was born one."

Tori: "People have to understand that there are millions and millions and millions of young women standing in line who will sign everything away, do whatever it takes to become a famous performer. But that doesn't mean that you have any power."

Tori: "You were pretty locked in once you were involved with the record label. It's not like it is now, the structure's crumbling. But I'm talking about when record companies were powerful and they could end an artist's career. Have you ever thought about how many artists maybe 15 years ago you heard about and then you don't hear about them anymore."

Kuuluttaja: "Tori Amos, talking fro a much more recent perspective."

Kuuluttaja: "Tori Amos broke through in the 90s and with a very clear ideas about how she's avoided record industry control."

(Girl Disappearing)

Tori: "Breaking into the music industry as a woman is not as difficult as it is retaining your position within the industry you see the industry really need young women- Songwriters, producers, the guys that ran the industry. But let's think about, what if you're a woman who decides after a while that you're going to write your own material, own your own publishing company, be your own producer, be your own merch company, and say to the patriarchy , 'Let's sit down, gentlemen, and have a meeting.' I represent myself, not as my own manager, but I'm my own production house. Now that is a problem."
