More quotes by Fiona Apple
And if I'm being honest, I don't think I have an ex-boyfriend who would have something mean to say about me.
Fiona Apple
In a strange way, I'm way more comfortable onstage than anywhere else.
Fiona Apple
No, I don't believe in the wasting of time, But I don't believe that I'm wasting mine
Fiona Apple
As a person who performs on stage, it's good to be emotionally open. If you mess with someone when they are in that state, it's like you're messing with an animal when it's eating.
Fiona Apple
I lie in an early bed thinking late thoughts, waiting for the black to replace my blue. I do not struggle in your web because it was my aim to get caught. But daddy long legs I feel that I'm finally growing weary of waiting to be consumed by you.
Fiona Apple
This world is bullshit. And you shouldn't model your life — wait a second — you shouldn't model your life about what you think that we think is cool and what we're wearing and what we're saying and everything. Go with yourself. Go with yourself.
Fiona Apple
Nobody is strong enough to not be influenced.
Fiona Apple
I was screaming into the canyon at the moment of my death the echo I created outlasted my last breath.
Fiona Apple
It's true/ I do imbue my blue unto myself/ I make it bitter.
Fiona Apple
Let me know the way, before there's hell to pay.
Fiona Apple
No matter how well prepared you are in life, you're gonna fall down a hole, and if you can fix the frayed ends of things, then you're better off.
Fiona Apple
I let the beast in too soon I don't know how to live without his hand on my throat. I fight him always and still. Oh, darling it's so sweet. You think you know how crazy, how crazy I am.
Fiona Apple
You fondle my trigger, then you blame my gun
Fiona Apple
I caved in to what people wanted me to do. I thought that they weren't going to like me if I didn't.
Fiona Apple
I wanted to write a happy song. I didn't know how.
Fiona Apple
My favorite thing is drums. I have a very, very big memory - and I don't have many big memories - of going to see the movie Tap, with Gregory Hines. During one scene, he's in jail, and there's some water dripping down, and he starts tap dancing. I just like that feeling of: I'm in charge, I can do whatever I want.
Fiona Apple
I've done things that can be made fun of. It's not such a bad thing. If I'm going to end up a role model, then I'd rather not end up being the kind of role model that pretends to be perfect, and pretends that she always has the right thing to say. I'm a product of role models that didn't make me feel like I was as good as them.
Fiona Apple
One of my friends said to me, Oh yeah, of course you aren't writing. So I was like, The next time you see me, I'm gonna have a new song. I wrote Criminal in 45 minutes when everyone else went to lunch because I had to have a hit. I can force myself to do the work, but only if someone is right up behind me.
Fiona Apple
I don't care what people do. I don't care how people remember my albums. I do them for my own reasons.
Fiona Apple
Hearing my songs in public freaks me out a bit. There was one restaurant I really liked in L.A., but I had to stop going there when they started playing my music. It felt kinda awkward.
