More quotes by Fiona Apple
The truth is it's fun to be up there and know that you're in your underwear. Even though I know I'm exploiting my sexuality in a certain way, it's fun! It boosts my ego.
Fiona Apple
I read on the Internet that I was dead.
Fiona Apple
Love is love, and there will never be too much.
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
Heaven help me for the way I am, save me from these evil deeds before I get them done.
Fiona Apple
If I have one success in my relationship history, it's with the people who listen to my music. I think that they'll be there with me forever, and I'll be there with them forever. And I'm totally satisfied with that.
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
I don't mind making a fool of myself. I felt like people would be accepting of that because, to me, that seems like an interesting way to do a show. I've always thought that it's interesting to watch people work things out on stage.
Fiona Apple
I had really bad obsessive-compulsive disorder. At its worst, I was compelled to leave my house at three o'clock in the morning and go out in the alley because I just knew that the paper-towel roll I threw in the recycling bin was uncomfortable, like it was lying the wrong way, and I would be down in the garbage.
Fiona Apple
There were songs I would write about breaking up with somebody before I broke up with them, months and months before I broke up with them.
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
I only write when I'm angry or sad, so because that's when I just have to write... If I'm having a good time and I'm happy and things are going really well, why would I want to stop what I'm doing to go and write at the piano?
Fiona Apple
There aren't many poster children for cool angst. Everybody thinks it's cool if you're the bad girl.
Fiona Apple
The only reason that it takes me seven years to do stuff is because I just don't really have a plan.
Fiona Apple
I realized I was trying to be friends with somebody who I used to be with but who I didn't get along with. I'm really big on that. I need to be friends with everyone that I've ever had a relationship with.
Fiona Apple
I'm incredibly impressed by people who organize to achieve a goal, and believe that they can make a difference and then go ahead and do just that. I think it's incredible.
Fiona Apple
Just tolerate my little fist tugging on your forest chest
Fiona Apple
Dreams can be deceiving, like faces are to hearts.
Fiona Apple
I didn't want to be precious about things. Of course, the idea is to make great music, but if you have great musicians up there, it gives me some leeway to play around a little bit.
Fiona Apple
In a strange way, I'm way more comfortable onstage than anywhere else.
Fiona Apple
