...according to Tori Amos.
"So I
started to think about... what is the most powerful thing I can do for myself.
The Truth is actually the most shocking thing you can do because nobody really
hears it much. So when you start saying things truthfully, and I mean
truthfully, there's no greater... Freedom than that, and I was really dying. So
I had to find out, I had taken on all of these belief systems. Whether you go
from... Christianity, to Buddhism, to God... I'm going to be one of those Mary
Magdalenes, YES [raises arms]. I mean, to
finally say, 'No, wait a minute, I'm just, who's this redhead?' Dyed of course.
But, you know, what are my beliefs? Not what you want me to believe. Or what I
should believe. But what do I Really, Really believe? And if there are a
million people telling me I'm out of my mind, that should really be
inconsequential. Because it's not your truth, it's gotta be mine. And same with
you, you know?" [UCLA Speech – March 5, 1995]
