More quotes by 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 would never kill myself, but you can kind of let yourself die.
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
I think I'm better at live shows than I used to be because I'm way more comfortable with the uncomfortable pauses between songs.
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
What will an angel say that the devil wants to know?
Fiona Apple
I wouldn't know what to do with another chance if you gave it to me.
Fiona Apple
I like the idea of the idler wheel - it just sits in between things, but it makes such a big difference in the way that the machine is working. That concept has always been something that has interested me, but I didn't really know why.
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
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
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 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
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'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
There aren't many poster children for cool angst. Everybody thinks it's cool if you're the bad girl.
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
It's true/ I do imbue my blue unto myself/ I make it bitter.
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
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
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
