Tori Amos
motivation

Although Tori Amos comes across as a very private, somewhat wary and enigmatic individual (as described on the previous page), there is another, quite different side to her: a person who really wants to be noticed, known, loved and admired.

Proud and intensely individual, Tori Amos really wants to stand out, to be the very best she can be, and to be recognized and appreciated for her unique contributions. Doing something well and being respected for it is extremely important to her, and she cannot tolerate being relegated to the background, taking orders from others, or being "just one of the team". Tori Amos must put her personal stamp on whatever she does, and direct her own course in life. Tori Amos needs to have a place where she can shine, express herself creatively, and be the one in charge.

Tori has big dreams and the determination, spirit, vitality and enthusiasm to realize them. Tori Amos also has a noble, romantic heart, and a love of the dramatic, colorful, and extravagant.

For Tori Amos, it is true that "the entire world's a stage" and she secretly (or perhaps not so secretly) desires to be the star or hero of the play. Tori wants to be great and to receive the love and applause of an adoring audience, even if the "audience" is just one other special person. She needs someone to believe in her and her dreams. Though Amos appears radiantly self-confident and independent, she is actually very dependent on the affirmation, love and recognition of others. She cannot bear going unnoticed or unappreciated.

Tori Amos also loves wholeheartedly and generously and really knows how to make the person she loves feel special. Tori Amos loves the magic of "being in love" and knows how to keep the romance alive in her relationships. She is also immensely loyal and will defend her loved ones and stand by them to the end - as long as they never offend her pride or betray her trust. However, Tori Amos likes to be the strong one in her relationships and she really does not share the leading role very easily. Ideally, Tori needs to find a person who is as strong-willed as she is, but who will not try to dominate or compete with her.

Amos' strengths are her zest and love for life, her creative power and her warm and generous heart. Her primary fault is her tendency to be very egocentric, and so concerned with the impression she is making and with her own creative self-expression that she forgets there is another, larger world that does not revolve around her.

World travel, foreign cultures, and studies which expand her intellectual horizons and broaden her understanding of the world are very attractive to Amos.

Tori Amos has a philosophical turn of mind and is concerned with seeking answers to the big questions of life or getting the overview of any situation. Abstract concepts and/or plans for the future occupy her mind much of the time.

Tori Amos is loving and well loved by others, and has a strong need for relationships that offer kindness, friendship and affection. Her artistic and creative powers are also well developed and Tori does everything in a harmonious, gracious, pleasing manner. Aesthetics are very important to Amos, as are her personal appearance and attractiveness.

Innovative, original, unorthodox and unconventional, she identifies with the role of a rebel, reformer or iconoclast. Tori Amos insists upon a great deal of personal freedom and does not easily adapt to others' needs and wishes. Tori needs a lifestyle that allows her to be spontaneous. She often feels that she is somehow different from other people and outside of society's mainstream.

Tori Amos feels spiritually bonded with her friends, partners or associates. She is likely to have a good rapport and harmony in her relationships with the opposite sex and enjoys spending time with her partner.
