More quotes by Fiona Apple
Love is love, and there will never be too much.
Fiona Apple
My whole life, people have been saying, Why are you so angry?
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
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 dare anybody to look at me and say I'm anorexic. I'm so totally not.
Fiona Apple
I've never been to the websites. It's a lot healthier for me to keep out of the conversations about me.
Fiona Apple
I only write when I'm angry or sad, so because that's when I just have to write... If I'm having a good time and I'm happy and things are going really well, why would I want to stop what I'm doing to go and write at the piano?
Fiona Apple
I don't want to give any advice to a 19-year-old, because I want a 19-year-old to make mistakes and learn from them. Make mistakes, make mistakes, make mistakes. Just make sure they're your mistakes.
Fiona Apple
I would really like to go back to school. I would love it now.
Fiona Apple
The worst pain in the world is shame.
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'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
I'm not the Queen. I'm not a huge superstar I don't get paparazzi around me.
Fiona Apple
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
If you want to see me cry, just come to a photo shoot.
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 never thought I'd be in a position where people would be talking about my sexuality and saying how good I look in underwear.
Fiona Apple
Nobody is strong enough to not be influenced.
Fiona Apple
I stand by everything I've ever said, apologies included.
Fiona Apple
