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.

It's calm under the waves in the blue of my oblivion.
Fiona Apple
Image
My heart went cold and only hollow rhythms resounded from within, but then he rose, brilliant as the moon in full and sank in the burrows of my keep, and all my armor, falling down, in a pile at my feet.
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.
Fiona Apple
Image
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
Image
You fondle my trigger, then you blame my gun
Fiona Apple
Image
Everybody acts like I'm nuts. I'm not nuts I just want to feel it all.

Image
I wouldn't know what to do with another chance if you gave it to me.
Fiona Apple
Image
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
Image
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.

Image
The age thing really bugs me. Do people have more of a right to not like what I say because I'm 19?
Fiona Apple
Image
No, I don't believe in the wasting of time, But I don't believe that I'm wasting mine
Fiona Apple
Image
I used to get a shiver if I thought about holding balloons, because I was scared of floating away.
Fiona Apple
Image
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.

I don't know if anybody wants to mix their politics with their entertainment.
Fiona Apple
Image
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.

Image
Put a little love here in my void.
Fiona Apple
Image
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.

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.

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.
