Fiona Apple
Five years from now I'm probably going to look back on the things I'm doing and cringe.
Fiona Apple
I'm a tulip in a cup. I stand no chance of growing up
Fiona Apple
For me, the best times are always going to be the most intense, the ones with the highest highs and the lowest lows.
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 let the beast in too soon I don't know how to live without his hand on my throat. I fight him always and still. Oh, darling it's so sweet. You think you know how crazy, how crazy I am.
Fiona Apple
I don't care what people do. I don't care how people remember my albums. I do them for my own reasons.
Fiona Apple
I have never been So insulted in all my life I could swallow the seas To wash down all this pride First you run like a fool Just to be at my side And now you run like a fool But you just run to hide.
Fiona Apple
