More quotes by Fiona Apple
I know what my job is: I write the songs, I sing them, I play them on the piano
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
My problem was that I felt ashamed of feeling sad or angry. Now, I don't hide my vulnerability in my lyrics. There's no way I was going to get raped and not get something out of it. I learned about power and hope and forgiveness. I like who I am now and I wouldn't be who I am if that hadn't happened.
Fiona Apple
Everybody acts like I'm nuts. I'm not nuts I just want to feel it all.
Fiona Apple
It's calm under the waves in the blue of my oblivion.
Fiona Apple
You fondle my trigger, then you blame my gun
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
Rape is the most humiliating thing that can be done to you it's the most vulnerable that you can be. But once I realized that, I became a stronger person and faced all my fears.
Fiona Apple
I never thought I'd be in a position where people would be talking about my sexuality and saying how good I look in underwear.
Fiona Apple
I just want to feel everything.
Fiona Apple
In a strange way, I'm way more comfortable onstage than anywhere else.
Fiona Apple
My whole life, people have been saying, Why are you so angry?
Fiona Apple
How can I ask anyone to love me when all I do is beg to be left alone?
Fiona Apple
I can bake. I made myself some nice French fries once. But otherwise I just eat out. Lots of salad bars.
Fiona Apple
I was never somebody who grew up going, 'I really want to be a singer in a band,' and I never had any ambition toward anything, really.
Fiona Apple
I took off my glasses while you were yelling at me once more than once so as not to see you see me react. Should've put 'em, should've put 'em on again so I could see you see me sincerely yelling back.
Fiona Apple
Just tolerate my little fist tugging on your forest chest
Fiona Apple
In a sense it's a lot crazier when you're on the road and it's a lot less stable, but it's actually really healthy for me because it keeps me from isolating, which I tend to do a lot.
Fiona Apple
I was screaming into the canyon at the moment of my death the echo I created outlasted my last breath.
Fiona Apple
If I had a kid, and I had a choice between teaching somebody how to avoid trouble, or teaching them how to get out of it, I'd teach them how to get out of it.
Fiona Apple
