In an interview, gave the story of her stage name as being something between wanting a given name that was less old-fashioned, and a remembered incident in a car when the driver turned and said "You're a Tori, aren't you?" (as in, that's the kind of name that suits you). It's possible this person was actually saying "You're a Tory, aren't you?" which can happen in England, if someone thinks they have sized up your political views.

She is a huge comic book fan.

She previously owned a home in Cork, Ireland, named Ballywilliam House.

She was offered the role of Mallory in Asesinos por naturaleza (1994) by director Oliver Stone. Early in her career, Amos had been pursing acting as well as singing. For a moment she was interested, until Stone explained he also wanted to have her song "Me and a Gun" play during the scenes where Mallory kills someone. The song is an a capella account of Amos' real-life rape. In response, Amos slapped him across the face and stormed out. Amos details this story in her autobiography "All These Years". She also references the incident in her hit song "A Sorta Fairytale", with the lyrics: "Feel better with Oliver Stone until I almost smacked him; it seemed right that night.".

Wrote a song about the 9/11 Tragedy: "I can't see New York".

In high school, Tori was voted Homecoming Queen, Choir Flirt, and Most Likely To Suceed.
