I still don't know what Episcopalian means.

I want to be like the patron saint of reality.

I wanted to write a happy song. I didn't know how.
Fiona Apple

I was so self-critical. I still am, but it's not as bad anymore.
Fiona Apple

I would really like to go back to school. I would love it now.
Fiona Apple

I'm here because of what I write. Obviously, I must know something.
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'm not a control freak.
Fiona Apple

I'm not used to not having enough time to live with the songs. Usually, if I write something, I live with it for a little while.
Fiona Apple

I've gone through stages where I hate my body so much that I won't even wear shorts and a bra in my house because if I pass a mirror, that's the end of my day.

I've never been to the websites. It's a lot healthier for me to keep out of the conversations about me.
Fiona Apple

If I respect myself and believe in what I'm doing, no one can touch me.
Fiona Apple

My whole life, people have been saying, Why are you so angry?
Fiona Apple

Nothing that you do will ever feel good if you let people convince you that you have no choice.

Now I feel like whatever I do, no one can hurt me. I cannot be violated, I cannot be humiliated, I cannot be disregarded, I cannot be disrespected.
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

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

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

The quick success was a bit strange to get used to.
Fiona Apple

The way I feel about music is that there is no right and wrong. Only true and false.
