Baker Baker is kind of tragic in a way, because -- I've had to look at how I treated men, and on this record, I think with Baker Baker, to deal with a man that truly loved me, but that I wasn't emotionally available for. You know how women always say men aren't emotionally available. Well, a lot of women aren't emotionally available. It's like, if you're vulnerable, we say, 'Look, we need you to be sensitive.' So you become sensitive, and yet we go, 'You've got no fuckin' backbone,' and we kick you in the face and run off with a ski trainer."
-- Tori; The Baltimore Sun, '94
"Even in Baker, Baker, on this album, it says I'm the one who was endlessly unavailable, to Eric, even when having sex. And now the only way I'm getting out of all this is with him. The only way back now having taken so much hatred from one man is to accept so much love from another. But it's a long, slow process."
-- Tori; Hot Press, 02/32/94
"There's a stream that runs up in the rockies and it runs into a bigger stream and finally makes it's way to a river but never the ocean and I was thinking about being whole again and that you don't have to make it to the ocean to be whole again maybe you freeze and become a snow witch or maybe a sandwich and melt away and that's o.k. i think."
-- Tori; Under The Pink Songbook
The US 1000 Oceans and UK Glory of the 80s (Part 2) singles include a live version of Baker Baker, recorded during the Plugged '98 Tour.
