"..Neil believes I'm more Delirium than Tori, and Death taught me to accept that..."
Delirium is actually influenced by Kathy Acker (postmodern feminist writer- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kathy_Acker [en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kathy_Acker] ), not by Tory Amos.

We come crawling through these cracks, orphans, lobotomies; if you ask me what I want, I´ll tell you. I want everything. Whole rotten world come down and break. Let me spread my legs.
(Kathy Acker, from her Novel Pussy King of the Pirates, 1996)

You create identity, you´re not given identity per se. What became more and more interesting to me wasn´t the "I", it was text because it´s text that create identity. That´s how I got interested in plagiarism.
(from an Interview with Kathy Acker)

At a certain point I realized that the "I" doesn´t exist. So I said to myself: If the "I" doesn´t exist, I have to construct one, or maybe even more than one.
(Kathy Acker, from an Interview with Sylvere Lothringer, New York 1991)

I feel extremely lonely and sad. I´m used to being by myself most of the time and having my own space in time.
(Kathy Acker, from a videotape recorded by herself, 1977)

I am as closed-up and fucked-up as everybody else. I am hell. The world is hell. "No, it isn´t", I scream, but I know it is. Hell. Hell. Hell. Hell. Help. Help me. Help me. Love me.
(Kathy Acker, from her Novel Blood and Guts in High School, 1978)

Intense sexual desire is the greatest thing in the world. Janey dreams of cocks. Janey dreams of cocks instead of objects. Janey has to fuck. This is the way sex drives Janey crazy. Before Janey fucks, she keeps her wants in cells. As soon as Janey is fucking, she wants to be adored as much as possible, at the same time as its other extreme: ignored as much as possible. More than this: Janey can no longer perceive herself wanting: Janey is want.
(Kathy Acker, from her Novel Blood and Guts in High School, 1978)
