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.

More quotes by Fiona Apple
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
I wanted to write a happy song. I didn't know how.
Fiona Apple
I think I'm better at live shows than I used to be because I'm way more comfortable with the uncomfortable pauses between songs.
Fiona Apple
I realized I was trying to be friends with somebody who I used to be with but who I didn't get along with. I'm really big on that. I need to be friends with everyone that I've ever had a relationship with.
Fiona Apple
And if I'm being honest, I don't think I have an ex-boyfriend who would have something mean to say about me.
Fiona Apple
I got drunk when I was five. Everybody gets drunk before they're 21.
Fiona Apple
I stand by everything I've ever said, apologies included.
Fiona Apple
Nothing that you do will ever feel good if you let people convince you that you have no choice.
Fiona Apple
I don't know if anybody wants to mix their politics with their entertainment.
Fiona Apple
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.
Fiona Apple
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
I know what my job is: I write the songs, I sing them, I play them on the piano
Fiona Apple
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.
Fiona Apple
Just tolerate my little fist tugging on your forest chest
Fiona Apple
In a strange way, I'm way more comfortable onstage than anywhere else.
Fiona Apple
I read on the Internet that I was dead.
Fiona Apple
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.
Fiona Apple
It's calm under the waves in the blue of my oblivion.
Fiona Apple
If you want to see me cry, just come to a photo shoot.
Fiona Apple
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.
Fiona Apple
