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 AppleI 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 AppleOne 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 AppleI'm a really good parent to myself sometimes, and I do things that make me learn and grow.
