I really don't think anything I do is a mistake. It could be if I didn't learn from it. But in the long run, no matter what I do for the rest of my life, I'll know I did something wonderful by saying what I felt. That's what I said at the awards there: Go with yourself. And that's what I did.

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.

How can I ask anyone to love me when all I do is beg to be left alone?
Fiona Apple
Image
It's calm under the waves in the blue of my oblivion.
Fiona Apple
Image
I don't care what people do. I don't care how people remember my albums. I do them for my own reasons.

I'm here because of what I write. Obviously, I must know something

What will an angel say that the devil wants to know?
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.

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

I would never kill myself, but you can kind of let yourself die.

I'm not the Queen. I'm not a huge superstar I don't get paparazzi around me.

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.
