Great interview! I like how Craig steered it in to something real about the role of emotion in creativity. Do you still get sad after you write play a song for the first time? (As you mention in the interview.) If so, has it become clearer why? (No need to answer! I don’t mean to pry; I’m just curious because I liked the conversation.)

I grew up in an abusive household and was a part of a religious cult in the middle of rural America. I dealt with a lot of pain and injustice and Fiona Apple's music was quite literally a lifeline for me in that dark time. When Fiona's Extraordinary Machine album came out, I secretly watched her perform 'Get Him Back' on Craig Ferguson's Late Late Show with the TV on low, while my family was in another room. I had never heard music quite like hers or heard an artist speak so honestly about herself, and I set out to buy her album to hear more. When I went to Hastings and found a discount sticker on her 'When the Pawn' album; I bought that instead because I didn't have a lot of money. When I got the CD home and put it in the player in my room (wearing headphones so no one could overhear) I was immediately hit by the 1st track, 'On the Bound', a very dark, intense, and deeply introspective song. Nearly every song on this darkly beautiful album struck a chord with my painful life experience. I had a lot of sadness, misery, righteous anger, and a fragile inner life that was hidden away from prying eyes, and I could hear these same feelings in this extraordinary woman's voice, lyrics, and music. Fiona's music communicated my muddled and murky thoughts and feelings right back to me, giving my hurt and confusion a clear voice and direction. I felt heard and empowered by her music and words and I bought all of Fiona's albums after listening to that first album. I felt a secret connection to her as an artist and I found a way to watch her music videos and interviews at the computers in the small public library in my town. My connection and curiosity about Fiona Apple and her music also prepared me in a way to leave my unhappy household and cult community. It was very difficult, but Fiona's music, in part, helped me articulate my feelings of hurt, anger, and outrage at how I was treated and affirmed to me that what I was experiencing was wrong and that I deserved better. Her work made me emboldened to look inward and write more in my journals about what I was experiencing. I became a stronger writer and I felt more confident in expressing myself, if only on the inside in my private world. Since that dark time, I've come a long way in life; I live in freedom from my past, I have a decent job, I graduated college, and I live in relative peace with my siblings who also escaped years ago. I am deeply grateful to Fiona Apple for her work as an artist and I still listen to her albums when I am feeling introspective or going through another set of challenges. When I was taking a road trip by myself a few years ago, I listened to the 'When the Pawn' album again in it's totality. I cried a little bit as I drove, but those were tears of release, not pain. The fifteen year old girl who first heard Fiona Apple in secret is now mostly at peace and the woman who has moved on in her journey to heal can now look back at this time with compassion and grateful splendor. 🕯❤🩹

My Fiona Apple moment: I got tix in the third row at the Idler Wheel tour, she had gotten busted for hashish, I think it was, relatively recently. She started to play a piano song, stopped a few bars in, shyly said something like, "I'm so sorry guys, I didn't like the way I played that." So I heckled loudly, "Aww, you pothead!" And to my great delight , and the audience's, she giggled and giggled. As close to Heaven as I'll ever soar...
