Sometimes interviews are fun and good conversations, but stuff like photo shoots and appearances at places where you have to meet a lot of people - I was never really made for this kind of stuff.

More quotes by 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.

I'm not the Queen. I'm not a huge superstar I don't get paparazzi around me.
Fiona Apple
I want to be able to do whatever I feel like doing and not worry about anything. Even when I was a kid, the only contemporary artist I listened to was Cyndi Lauper.
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
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
My whole life, people have been saying, Why are you so angry?

How can I ask anyone to love me when all I do is beg to be left alone?

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
My career has been: first you have to prove yourself, then there's the sophomore record, then there's this thing and that thing, and you always want to be understood.
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
You know, the age thing really bugs me. Do people have more of a right to not like what I say because I'm 19? I'm up here because of what I write. Obviously, I must know something, or I wouldn't have been nominated for Best New Artist. Sometimes it's like, You're right. My mother wrote these songs.
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
If I respect myself and believe in what I'm doing, no one can touch me.
Fiona Apple
Even though I found you on an ordinary day, it felt like I found a precious pearl in an oyster when I deep dived into the sea. Baby, you are really that precious to me.
Fiona Apple
I know what my job is: I write the songs, I sing them, I play them on the piano
Fiona Apple
Dreams can be deceiving, like faces are to hearts.
Fiona Apple
Nothing that you do will ever feel good if you let people convince you that you have no choice.
