There aren't many poster children for cool angst. Everybody thinks it's cool if you're the bad girl.

More quotes by Fiona Apple
But I honestly don't read critics. My dad reads absolutely everything ever written about me. He calls me up to read ecstatic reviews, but I always insist that I can't hear them. If you give value to the good reviews, you have to give value to the criticism.
Fiona Apple
If I respect myself and believe in what I'm doing, no one can touch me.
Fiona Apple
When you're surrounded by all these people, it can be even lonelier than when you're by yourself. You can be in a huge crowd, but if you don't feel like you can trust anybody or talk to anybody, you feel like you're really alone.
Fiona Apple
The age thing really bugs me. Do people have more of a right to not like what I say because I'm 19?
Fiona Apple
Everybody sees me as this sullen and insecure little thing. Those are just the sides of me that I feel it's necessary to show because no one else seems to be showing them.
Fiona Apple
I've never been to the websites. It's a lot healthier for me to keep out of the conversations about me.
Fiona Apple
I dare anybody to look at me and say I'm anorexic. I'm so totally not.
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've been a bad, bad girl - I've been careless with a delicate man.
Fiona Apple
I resent limitations. I'm going to be this way for a while, and then the funny side of me is going to come out. Slowly, people are going to realize they're seeing a completely honest evolution of human life.
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 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
The quick success was a bit strange to get used to.
Fiona Apple
I wouldn't know what to do with another chance if you gave it to me.
Fiona Apple
Nobody is strong enough to not be influenced.
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
It pisses me off to think we're conditioned to push away bad feelings and think anything that's uncomfortable is to be avoided. When things are really bad nowadays, I recognize the value in it because it's me filling my quota- it's going to make my joy more intense later.
Fiona Apple
Five years from now I'm probably going to look back on the things I'm doing and cringe.
Fiona Apple
In a strange way, I'm way more comfortable onstage than anywhere else.
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.
