The age thing really bugs me. Do people have more of a right to not like what I say because Im 19? – Fiona Apple
Because for whatever reason, even though I want to stay home all the time and be left alone, I want to tell the world who I am now. – Fiona Apple
Hearing my songs in public freaks me out a bit. There was one restaurant I really liked in L.A., but I had to stop going there when they started playing my music. It felt kinda awkward. – Fiona Apple
But I honestly dont 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 cant hear them. If you give value to the good reviews, you have to give value to the criticism. – Fiona Apple
When I hit a block, regardless of what I am writing, what the subject matter is, or whats going on in the plot, I go back and I read Pablo Nerudas poetry. I dont actually speak Spanish, so I read it translation. But I always go back to Neruda. I dont know why, but it calms me, calms my brain. – Tea Obreht
