“Every time the press talked about me, the headlines were Lovesick Sade, Sad, Sad, Sade, things like that. They would say, ‘Lovesick Sade is shut away in her penthouse flat,’ as if I were Marie Antoinette. Anyone would think I had a moat around my house. Then they said, ‘Lovesick Sade is having a glass window put above her bed so she can gaze at the stars on her lonely nights,’ or something like that… And they said that I was having a dance floor put in my living room. They think I’m Barry Manilow! … I suppose some people would do a TV interview or something and say that this was all nonsense, but I didn’t do any of that.”

Fiona Apple, 1996 | ph. Jim Rakete
