Quote

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.

In a strange way, I'm way more comfortable onstage than anywhere else.

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

My favorite thing is drums. I have a very, very big memory - and I don't have many big memories - of going to see the movie Tap, with Gregory Hines. During one scene, he's in jail, and there's some water dripping down, and he starts tap dancing. I just like that feeling of: I'm in charge, I can do whatever I want.

Hearing my songs in public freaks me out a bit. There was one restaurant I really liked in L.A., but I had to stop going there when they started playing my music. It felt kinda awkward.

I dare anybody to look at me and say I'm anorexic. I'm so totally not.
Fiona Apple
Image
I've never been to the websites. It's a lot healthier for me to keep out of the conversations about me.

I wanted to write a happy song. I didn't know how.
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.
