"Don't you think it's really important now that there's a forum, that we're talking about all sides of what happened September 11 and what led up to it? We need to do some research; we need to think about, Why is the world where it is? It's so deep-rooted, if we really start looking, and we might not like what we find. But I think we have to, we have to ask the questions." Quote from Tori from "MTV Comes Together: Artists And Viewers Speak" (thanks to The Dent.) "She told me once there is a part of her in everyone, though Neil believes I'm more Delirium than Tori, and Death taught me to accept that, you know, wear your butterflies with pride. And when I do accept that, I know Death is somewhere inside of me. She was the kind of girl all girls wanted to be, I believe, because of her acceptance of "what is." She keeps reminding me there is change in the "what is" but change cannot be made till you accept the "what is." "It's funny but on good days I don't think of her so much. In fact never. I never just say hi when my belly's all warm. On bad days I talk to Death constantly, not about suicide because honestly that's not dramatic enough. Most of us love the stage and suicide is definitely your last performance and being addicted to the stage, suicide was never an option - plus people get to look you over and stare at your fatty bits and you can't cross your legs to give that flattering thigh angle and that's depressing." - Tori Amos from: Death The High Cost of Living 
"I am a real believer in looking at pain and taking it out shopping" "I hated my name, my body was screaming to be called something, and it wasn't Myra Ellen" "I'm always dreaming that these bulls are chasing me, half the time I don't get away-I almost get over the fence, and then they gore me" "My theory is that women were the Mona Lisas for a long time and now men are Mona Lisas with little goatees, they are our muses" "Just because I can't write songs sometimes doesn't mean that creative force isn't going, it's cheating on me, it's with Jewel" "Most boys would like to think they're the flu, wouldn't they? But they're really just a...’hachoo’." "Fame is very tricky, it's like a pit full of stuff, some of it is yummy and some it is big monsters, it's a double-edged sword and if you pretend you don't want it you're a liar and that is going to rip your soul to pieces" "If you call me an airy-fairy new age hippy waif, I will cut your penis off" "The meaning of life is bran in your diet, I'm going to eat pasta now" "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'm too young for a man, but I'm too old for a boy, so can't we just pretend that I'm older than I really am? But then, only little girls pretend" "I'm known as that girl who has tea with the devil. I'm the thing that fundamentalist Christians cringe over. Mothers drag their daughters out of my shows. Because their daughters are going, 'hey, maybe I don't have to think about these things. Why am I worshipping some dead guy?’" "You hear stories about angels that come and save certain people. They're beautiful stories, but what about the mother whose kid gets taken away and never comes back? What were the angels smoking when that happened? What do you say? That their kid wasn't worthy? That it's all for the best? Or god has a plan?" "What is an angel but a ghost in drag?" "I do sound like the Little Mermaid on acid." "The music is the magic carpet that other things take naps on." "Everybody told me this 'girl on the piano' thing was never going to work" "What girls do to each other is beyond description. No Chinese torture comes close." "Most people would rather be sheep and have company than stand out on their own with antlers on." "The violence between women is unbelievable...women try to make each other crawl so that their knees are bleeding." "Pretty is never beautiful." "Anyone who doesn't believe in faeries isn't worth knowing" "I finally realized that Lucifer is a woman, wears white, and drives an ice cream truck." - moniquesbbli.com
"I'm a musician first, a food-lover second, a dirty mouth with feet, and a girl last time I checked" "I don't play for races and religions, y’know, I'm into faeries!!" "I believe that evil is seem most from those who are trying to stamp out evil." "We are all faeries living underneath a leaf on a lilypad." "Forgiveness is the most important thing about friendship." Tori's dad recalls: "The first time I told Tori the Christmas story, she asked me what would have happened if Joseph had emerged from the manger shouting "Wow! Its a girl!" "I always thought I'd make a good girlfriend for Jesus." "Some of the most wonderful people are the ones who don't fit into boxes." "I thank the faeries because I'm not stupid." "May all your lives be blessed with shoes." "If my father had been a dentist, I don't know what I would have written about." "To me the songs already exist, I'm just an interpreter for them." "You don't have to justify anything. Being pissed off is absolutely ok." "I don’t see myself as weird, I just see myself as honest. That’s the way I am. I find the truth endlessly interesting."
"I have so many different personalities in me, and I still feel lonely." "Healing takes courage, and we all have courage, even if we have to dig a little to find it."
"When you stop putting yourself on the line, and you don't touch your own heart, how do you expect to touch other people?'' - Sun-Sentinel, Palm Springs, November 1, 1996
"If some people need to collect a million pictures of me, well then, that's what they need to do. I mean, some people have baseball cards." "That's true. I've always been really fascinated about that part of people, including myself, that is hidden. Some people hide more than others, and it does intrigue me. I write about the dark night of the soul, because I feel I have ticket there- an access ticket like you get to the Underground. I think I have a permanent Underground ticket to the subway ... it's much cheaper than taking taxis." "My male worth was quite good. Chemically I'm not interested in women in that way. The smell of men seems to make me want to merge physically, but again I've always had a real problem embracing the feminine." "I don't know if radio (programmers) can listen to the songs without going, 'That heathen!' It's a tricky thing when you're writing lyrics that chase the dark. They don't get the humor I think." "You're like this meteorite. Everybody's singing your music and has an opinion about it. I sorta cruise in the underground. Sometimes you have to search for what I'm doing." "I think some people feel like they have to have had some kind of traumatic experience to relate to my music. I don't write like that. Sometimes I see the music more like a Dionysian frenzy. The concept that there are albums that make you happy and albums that make you suicidal- I don't live in that kind of segregated world. That's why being a fierce calm really holds a frequency for me right now." "I think the songs- they're almost like my teachers really. I have to be willing to open that closet and be willing to bring out all my little party hats." "Monsters are the best most wonderful, monsters are you know, it's like you gotta fight for your right to have a monster." "Every musician has a concept of what a song should be, and the engineers have a concept, and I have a concept. But in the end, the song is her own muse. Sometimes I'll think, we've lost her soul. Everybody around me will be going, 'Well, I heard the soul.' And I'm like, 'No, you hear the booty." "We all get intimidated by showing ourselves- for what ever reason we think. If I really show who I am and somebody goes 'pfft' then it's gonna crush me- well it's not gonna crush me. It doesn't crush you if somebody does that. Somebody will do that- many times, and once you accept that's not why you're doing it- 'cause that's your form of expression." "As a performer, I work as a mirror. So what ever you're giving me, I give it back to you ten-fold, 'cause that's how mirrors can work. When all this love is coming to you, and all this projection is coming to you, and all this stuff is coming to you- what an audience is really doing is, they wanna give to themselves. Performers do have this power. They can keep what you're giving them and not give it back. It's how you think. You can stop the wheel- you have to keep the wheel going- which is in-take/out-take." "There's a part of me that's Sven the Viking (*As Tori firmly believes in reincarnation...), and if any body tried to hurt that girl again, he'll annihilate them." "It was a great adventure, because I had no fears about England, I didn't know the word 'no', I wasn't intimidated... I would have been a History teacher if I wouldn't have been a suet, if I didn't know the piano." "I had an amount of energy, like a fireball that was so amped- there were times I would just burn myself up and become a cinder. It took me a long while to really know how not to burn myself up. There is a self-righteousness that can come so much from a person's 20's. When I was 20, I was pretty self-righteous." "We are supposed to be on top of the civilization... well, if you take a walk in Toys 'R' Us, you will know better." "Performing is the best high there is and I hardly do drugs any more. I've experimented like most people a bit of acid here, a bit of ecstasy there but there is nothing like when you plug in on stage. I don't know what it does but it feels like having an affair with 5,000 people. Or like 1983 Margaux is flowing through my veins. That's my scene these days. I'm really into good wine. And I have to look after my health. It's a bit unglamorous crawling to the bathroom after some of those drugs." "It's so easy to create SoundBits. It's really hard to create beauty." "It's two fully rotating spheres, each one on its own, that have decided to hang out together for a few weeks. I say it's like two pirate ships in the cove. Some people came over on hers, others came on mine. But if you came on hers, you hear there was some good wine on mine, so you come over and try it and you might find something you like. That's what we hope is going on, at least." "Sometimes I ask myself if I am really dreaming, or if I have some evil twin who does all these things I'm dreaming." "I respect people that have that discipline and understand the choice, but I am lioness and sometimes the desire for blood is just too great. But, I applaud those that make that choice. I do think if you are going to eat meat or anything with a head on it, then it is important that the creature is treated with respect while they are alive." "I think that the nightmares are telling me things about myself that I need to know. And I try to understand what they mean, so I can get to know something more about my soul." "There is no 'alternative' radio. I tell that to guys I've known in radio for years. I say, 'Look guys, alternative to what?' It's all about formats now. You get played if you can fit in and sound like everything else. That to me is really discouraging." "I love independence. That's the most important thing to me. That's one reason I didn't do Lilith Fair. Sarah [McLachlan] and I are good acquaintances. She knows why I didn't do it. If you do Lilith, you have to do it Sarah's way... her production." "Somebody said that Howard Stern said sarcastically that I was a 'real party,' but you know, rape isn't about a party. If something like that happened to somebody he loved, he better hope I'm not about a party when that moment happens and they need help." "There's a lot of politically correct music, and the characters don't have paradoxes going on with them, which I don't find interesting." "I'm really dependent on the audience. If they're kickin' then it breathes new life into the show. It just does. I mean, I do know these songs backwards and forwards. So if they bring something- an openness or a vibe, then yeah, it really changes things. I change the show every night, I put in a lot of different covers that nobody's heard me do, and I try and switch it around so that it's a different experience." "I'm clumsy sometimes. I wish I could tell you that I was inebriated because it would give me an excuse, but I never drink and play." "I don't comment on other people's records, because I don't really want them commenting on mine." "So I've never done this one without the guys (band). So if you wanna, like, play your stomachs that's okay. They make a really good drum. And for some of you girls that have those delicious backsides? You can play them too. The one thing I've always said, you know, if I was a guy, I would have to have something delicious to have in my hands. So you girls fuckin' eat! Alright?" "Lionesses are amazing animals, the guys from the family. They do the hunting, make sure there is meat on the table. The men are only laying in the sun playing with their furry balls. I think it's not very different from the human world, but we leave that aside." "What did I last cry over? That I ordered pomme frites in fucking France and got steak fries like I was in Texas. I mean how fucked can you get? They were doing steak fries in Paris, because they thought that was kinda cool. That's just confused. That's like people in Memphis trying to do the polka. 'What are you doing ?'" Tori's response when asked to describe her self in five words: "I. Do. Not. Describe. Myself." "There are only a few people who really, really know me. The friendship with them is almost holy. To be there when the other needs you, that's what it is about." "The Brits- I married one so I have to be very careful here- You know, some of my best friend are Brits, and their humor gets us all through very tricky times. But there are just times when you're going 'Where is the passion? Where is the *booty*? Where is the sauce?' And you can't cuss very well. They can't say fuck, you know..." "Well, I think there's a bit of a kindness to that (her parent's upright) piano. It was 'the little engine that could.' She tries very hard. But she's never gonna be a Ferrari- not that you want to be a Ferrari this week! Have you seen the Formula One madness? They're really fucked up!" "There was this African-American guy at the Peabody [Baltimore's Peabody Conservatory] in 1968. It was a funny time, 1968. He was about 17 or 16, and he was sitting there, playing some Hendrix stuff at the piano. I think he was really into McCoy Tyner also. I would just sit there, because I was kind of in love with him. But I was five and a half, and he was 17 and black in 1968. I mean, it was all going on. Even though my uncle was black- Uncle Bobby; he's dead now, but he was my father's best friend- it's a whole 'nother thing to see your five-and-a-half-year-old daughter in love with this Jimi Hendrix-like jazzer. I think his name was Reggie; I can't remember." "I don't get involved with the (RAINN) counseling on a one-to-one basis although I do talk to some of the women when they come to the shows. They are wonderful people. Real survivors." “I'm a daughter of a minister and I love chasing the dark. That which is hidden. I like licking it like an ice cream." "If I come across as a dingaling with no balls then shame on me. Then that's your perception of me and maybe that's who I am." "Pop radio isn't about Pink Floyd, it's not about Neil Young and of course they're my heroes. It's not about that right now, it's about 'can you sing it in the shower?' Everyone would like to sing 'gotta be big' in the shower." "I don't care what people think. I really don't. I do what I think is right as a musician." "I put out a party when I put out an album and if people show up, they show up and if they don't, the quality of the wine does not change. You know what I'm saying?" "If a guy doesn't ask me to the prom, I always have my left hand." "Some people around me think that I'm brain damaged but I don't want to take it further. You know?" "People out there must be told about the self-loathing that follows rape and how it's the greatest breakage in divine law to mutilate themselves, as I have done." "I'm not an either-or person. I'm excited about the whole MP3 thing, I think it works for some people, but I'm really into the integrity of people showing appreciation for the artists. Not everything is free. Good wine is not free. As a hostess, when people come, I always serve them good wine, but I think if you're going to a vineyard... They give me things to drink, but there is reciprocation. I usually buy a case. With computers, there's a way to be generous but a way to give respect." "I kind of stay away from that (her fan sites). People's opinions of what I'm doing are really none of my business." "The decadence of the '80s in L.A. brings out a smile. I wasn't into the L.A. hard rock scene even though I had big hair and I had thigh-high plastic boots. I think I was more into the gothic witch thing. Pirates. It was that whole dressing-up moment, Adam Ant with tits, but not really- his were much cuter than mine or my friends." "I try to live a life between Clockwork Orange and Harriet the Little Detective. I want to hide in the dimness of Clockwork Orange, but with the hope of a young girl." "You know if I'm going to have a boy in my video I'm going to be eating him." "I've always been fascinated with bloodlines: family trees. I think of music this way and instruments this way. Like this book that I think is really stimulating, not just because of the content but because of the family tree, is Bloodline of the Holy Grail by a guy called Laurence Gardner. He's quite the respected genealogist, and it's the bloodline of Jesus and Mary Magdalene. But if you did a bloodline of every composer's life, you could do a similar thing. Or with the poet or the visual artist who influences you, or the people who influence on a personal level, who turned you on to what artist. Maybe that person is out of your life. Like, there are people I don't really know anymore who turned me on to, say, Sylvia Plath. It's strange how I have no idea where this person is, but my life would have taken a different turn if I didn't have it." "On some of my darkest days, Lucifer's the one who comes and gives me an ice cream." "Some pop records are put together by really smart people, and the artist is just one of many players. The artist is the face of the producers. Producers are now the real artists. That's not a negative; that's the truth. Not a lot of artists are writers or players. Sometimes that's a good thing, sometimes that's a consequence. I have a different relationship with the producer. She sometimes tries to fire me." "The music industry is not about music anymore. This is a time of entertainers. But at a certain point, you have to go back to the tradition of writers. Jackie Collins sells a lot of books, but is that in the tradition of the bards? I can throw shit on tape, and I've wasted a lot of tape. But at a certain point, is there a craft or skill that's being developed?" ”Being a lioness, I know the teeth and claws of women." "I was in this bar in LA in the 80's, and these two beautiful guys, underwear models, gorgeous, come up to me and said, 'Do you want to come home with us?' And I said, 'Obviously, I'm worried you've got a butcher knife and you're going to chop me up into 17 pieces. And I can't be tortured again.' And they said, 'That's the chance you take.' And I really couldn't go back." "I think I disappoint people a lot. The media has a need and the better the story, the better for the paper. You have to decide what you are willing to do and not willing to do. Some people choose to become media whores and then wake up with themselves in the morning. I am into observing these days. Every time you do an interview you can say things, you can give pieces of yourself away or not." "I can be negotiating serious hardball for my work one minute, then the next, feel like I'm back on the playground at recess ready to put a grenade up some bitch's ass. There are bitches in third grade. The playground is the biggest war zone in the world." "I think it's either in your blood or not. When you're out there you've got to own the room. You can share it with all of them, but it's got to be yours. You have to be like a wolverine in her territory. She knows every nook and cranny. She knows where all the rabbits are hiding. She doesn't eat them all, but she has to know or she can't be a wolverine." "If a guy hits me, I will literally grab hold of his throat, put my teeth into it and rip until he is dead." "Sometimes people like to segregate artists- they say, 'This is the serious artist, and this is the artist you can have a beer with,' I've always kinda cocked my head and said, 'Well, I'd love to have a bottle of wine with Sorrow, 'cause I know she's got dirty jokes.' And when it all goes wrong, Sorrow's good to have around." "Well sometimes extremes do work. Sometimes they don't. My 'Like a Virgin' cover will stay locked up at Martian Engineering. We had too many little red drinks." "Joel (*Tori's bodyguard) is my protector. Knight of the round table. Let's be honest here, who's going to have the balls to go up to him and say, 'Well aren't you a wimp?' That's not gonna happen" "There are times I've spent with Neil (Gaiman) here you know, we're toodling around and things you think you say in confidence end up in a comic book, you know? And then of course there are things that she (Delirium) says that I start saying. There's a strange sort of stealing going on." "Right now, if you're an entertainer, it's a very good time for you. So if that's your interest, then go for it. That's what's really in demand. Poets aren't really... I hope you're good at serving food. Making coffee. But that doesn't mean... see, we don't have a value right now on that tradition. And a lot of times our value is in how many pieces you sell. And I don't think it should be about either or. There's always been a place for entertainers. But when you lose your poets, something very tragic happens because they're the pulse." "When you're boyfriend leaves and you're alone in the house and you talk to your cat differently... it's sort of like that. I think the audience is a wonderful multiplicity of cats. And sometimes we need to kick the boyfriends off the stage and have our own little chat" "There's an arrogance that some have when they perform. That doesn't impress the crowds I play for. Maybe I'm a good waitress and I serve good wine." "There is value in everybody's gift. No matter how hard it is to find or how strange it is." "I thought Robert Plant should marry me when I was eight. You know, I was kind of out of my mind." "You know when you're walking on a farm? You always know there are going to be cow pies, so it shouldn't be that difficult to miss them. The thing about me is, I'm staring at the ground but I still step in them." "I get everyone except the paedophiles. I think Britney Spears gets all those." "Some people think I need to be arrested." "I try not to read my press. It makes you crazy! If one more person brings up the faeries, I don't know what I'm gonna do." "Give the kids tools, so they can go build their own houses; not the blueprint of what the houses should be." "If you really want a challenge, just deal with yourself." "I've grown up with the church in my bathroom, my bedroom, in my underwear drawer..." "The PC thing, that's not my scene. I lay it on the table. If something is going to take their lithium, do a line or read the Bible, go for it. As long as you don't hurt anyone else, it's all the same to me." "We spend so much time in Hotels where walls are pretty thin and I can't really say to you I'm an eavesdropper by choice but if you just sit quietly... reading... or just whatever... daydreaming... you start hearing all sorts of stuff. I had convinced myself that all the rooms across from mine had women in them with a predilection for imitating their house pets. Next door on the other hand money was definitely the subject and something about 'her' being a 'conniving little thieving Bitch'. He was pretty much at the end of his rope and I thought about sending him over a Super-Tuscan with my Shrink's number but she's a bit of a recluse. And this was only 1 day in Ohio." "I'm into knits when I'm home. To play onstage, I have to be put into a shield, some kind of contained thing. If I performed in a knit sweater, my playing would be sloppy. I always play in heels; it gives me more support." "I love being in a skirt and boots. It goes back to the librarian-principal look. I like the idea of carrying books around in a skirt." "I think my work is of the present and cutting edge. It's not just about some stupid party backstage at the Grammy's, which is not very interesting at all." "How can I be a sacred being and a hot pussy" "It seems like only men rule the place, but we women have, just like men, a dark side. When a man starts crying, he leaves as fast as he can. When a woman cries, she is acting like a poor little creature to keep her man with her. Just read the Bible or Greek tragedies and you'll see how women manipulate their environment. Emotional blackmail." "It's so strange when I look at all those young girls who come to my shows. It's really impossible they really understand the things that I sing about. I mean, they look like women, but they are not yet women. How many life experiences can you have when you're 14? I wonder sometimes that it's because of all the hormones in food, that they are so eh, developed at such an early age. At that age, that didn't happen to me." (* Thanks to Jason Koenig for the following quote:) (Tori's thoughts on Woodstock '99) "I have very few thoughts about it and I try to think about it as briefly as possible. Do you really think that hate music is going to incite sensuality, deliciousness and peace and love? Because if you do you're a very confused person. It's just gang mentality, it's an equation, this is very basic. If you put an equation together like that you're not gonna get sensual dancing from everybody or a love-in. Those things do not add up together. Okay? It's no different than if you have a bunch of guys that have been working in a fish market all day. I don't wanna go down on 'em. These are equations, Okay Simon, basic stuff." "If I talk about anything in my songs, and I tell you I never have these feelings, that I'm just writing about it, then I'm lying through my teeth. That's like ya know, showing up at a porno movie to eat the popcorn." "I have artistic freedom, and I'm always wondering where I want to take it. That's the tricky thing: when you do have freedom, you don't have any excuses any more." "We don't take from other people's records. We might take some odd yelp or some crazy thing, because it becomes a characterization; it's a millisecond of something. But for the most part, we're developing a theme from ourselves in our own loops." Tori's prediction for the new millennium: "If they keep crashing stuff into the moon trying to find water and then the moon gets pissed off and the tides change and all women start PMS-ing together, you guys are going to fucking regret that." Church-Related Arguments "I don't play for races or religion, you know, I'm into faeries." "People don't know where to put my questioning institutions or religion and going after things." "I'm becoming more flexible. I'm not as quick to torment someone because of their beliefs. I'm realizing that there are sides of me that are defiant, and there sides that are non-conformist. I'm much more of a wild animal than a domesticated one- but that doesn't always mean I'm in attack mode. There's even a side to me that wants to sit on your shoulder and wants to giggle when you're taking your exams." "That concept of sending a son where we as woman could, like, breast feed him and give him milk but he's not going to soil his dinky with us- what's that all about? That really bugged me. The whole concept that Jesus was not going to make it with a babe; what- that's going to make him holy?" "Basically the church is saying that a woman doing the real stuff, the stuff we do, doesn’t create special boy prophets. What does that say? Christianity has no penis. Think about it. If we’re saying that deity gave life through Mary, there’s no semen. Where’s the penetration? Where’s the union? There’s no man and woman to create this Christ being. Christian men have got to talk about the penis because they’ve got one problem, and they’re using it. But that’s the problem with Christian men- they haven’t known where to put it! The shame that they cast on woman-'You tempt us to do this,'- that’s because they don’t think they have the right to put their penis somewhere. So they’ve taken the sword and gone to believe in Christianity. I don’t see a lot of 'love your neighbor' when I look at the last 2000 years of Christianity." "Sometimes I think the Christians really misunderstand. They think I don't like them and, it's not that at all. It's that there has to be a place where you don't dishonor my spirituality and I don't dishonor yours." "Ireland is an exciting place, almost rebellious. Everything here tells about Catholic culture, of churchiness... and still you just have to dig some meters under ground and you'll discover a world of spirits, wizards, the rest of a mysterious and intriguing past." "My grandmother revered St. Paul; funny, he took sensuality and sexuality out of the goddess and basically circumcised passion out of the female role model, the Mother Mary. Consequently, Christian women have been divided for 2000 years." "There has to be a balance. I don't see dark as evil and light as good. I see it as the unconscious, things hidden that you have to see. The reason I say the Christian church has to claim its dark side is because so many civilizations have been destroyed in the name of Christ. I don't believe for one minute that his teachings were about destruction at all. People harnessed Christ's teachings. The Protestants have so much guilt to come to terms with." "I think I'm waiting, like a lot of people, to make sure that the Christians don't blow up the planet and then we'll see what happens (talking about when she will tour in Australia)." "Rituals became the key word as well as dangerous- the different ways people worship. What is sacred to one person would be insulting to another which is why so many people have been tortured and tortured others over 'My God's bigger than your dog'." (Dog? Hmm, maybe god…) "I think that gay beings have to work through a lot of projected shame on to them, and having been brought up in an extremely Christian home there was a lot of shame. Sexuality and sensuality as a woman, whether you choose to be with the same sex or not... that to me is extremely personal choice. The shaming aspect if you really think about it, freedom to express yourself sexually and to still see yourself a spiritual being is not allowed." "In general, there are extreme responses to metaphorical works because there's so much room for interpretation. You know, I come from a heavy theological background, my father having his doctorate in theology and both his parents being ministers. Christianity is just one of many mythologies... and it is one of the homecoming queens, let's face it, so you'll find that within most of us. Whether it's commercials or Disney or whatever, people use mythology to get you to feel guilty or ashamed or strong or afraid. Because I work from that place, it stirs people's innate belief systems. Sometimes they hate me for it, because it's much easier to blame me than admit that they're a pig!" |
