I've been a bad, bad girl - I've been careless with a delicate man.
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?

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.

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.

I don't want to give any advice to a 19-year-old, because I want a 19-year-old to make mistakes and learn from them. Make mistakes, make mistakes, make mistakes. Just make sure they're your mistakes.

My mind goes to tragedy first.

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.

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.

For me, the best times are always going to be the most intense, the ones with the highest highs and the lowest lows.

I don't care what people do. I don't care how people remember my albums. I do them for my own reasons.

The worst pain in the world is shame.
Fiona Apple
Image
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.

It's calm under the waves in the blue of my oblivion.

I was screaming into the canyon at the moment of my death the echo I created outlasted my last breath.

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.

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.

I have never bought myself a computer or a phone, but guys in my life have bought them for me, for whatever reason. So now I have them.

I know what my job is: I write the songs, I sing them, I play them on the piano
