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.

More quotes by Fiona Apple
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.
Fiona Apple
I know what my job is: I write the songs, I sing them, I play them on the piano
Fiona Apple
I read on the Internet that I was dead.
Fiona Apple
There aren't many poster children for cool angst. Everybody thinks it's cool if you're the bad girl.
Fiona Apple
I just want to feel everything.
Fiona Apple
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.
Fiona Apple
Sometimes interviews are fun and good conversations, but stuff like photo shoots and appearances at places where you have to meet a lot of people - I was never really made for this kind of stuff.
Fiona Apple
I can bake. I made myself some nice French fries once. But otherwise I just eat out. Lots of salad bars.

One of my friends said to me, Oh yeah, of course you aren't writing. So I was like, The next time you see me, I'm gonna have a new song. I wrote Criminal in 45 minutes when everyone else went to lunch because I had to have a hit. I can force myself to do the work, but only if someone is right up behind me.
Fiona Apple
Five years from now I'm probably going to look back on the things I'm doing and cringe.
Fiona Apple
I wouldn't know what to do with another chance if you gave it to me.
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
If I had a kid, and I had a choice between teaching somebody how to avoid trouble, or teaching them how to get out of it, I'd teach them how to get out of it.
Fiona Apple
But I honestly don't read critics. My dad reads absolutely everything ever written about me. He calls me up to read ecstatic reviews, but I always insist that I can't hear them. If you give value to the good reviews, you have to give value to the criticism.
Fiona Apple
You fondle my trigger, then you blame my gun
Fiona Apple
I wanted to write a happy song. I didn't know how.
Fiona Apple
The truth is it's fun to be up there and know that you're in your underwear. Even though I know I'm exploiting my sexuality in a certain way, it's fun! It boosts my ego.
Fiona Apple
It's true/ I do imbue my blue unto myself/ I make it bitter.
Fiona Apple
I was never somebody who grew up going, 'I really want to be a singer in a band,' and I never had any ambition toward anything, really.
Fiona Apple
If you want to see me cry, just come to a photo shoot.
