Fiona Apple - interview (1997)

[DeanMartin1231]

My ex girlfriend looks exactly like her,

It's spooky!

[sTapleEVA]

@DeanMartin1231 you should get back together with her then

[DeanMartin1231]

@sTapleEVA

nah, she hates my gut's now.

also she's kind of a shitty person,

Im better off with the new one.

[CRooster3]

Its pretty sad what MTV has turned into. When Music actually does play its all the same auto-tuned trash and cookie cutter artists.

[angeleyes86ebby]

@CRooster3 Lol, I was JUST about to say that. It used to be when they used to play MUSIC. Yea some shows here & there but mostly it was about music. Its so fake nowadays its sickening...I habvent really watched in years. Its sad:(

But I know one thing...Fiona hasnt changed & I LOVE her;)

[rencrow]

back when MTV used to be good.

[DavyDmusic1]

his feet dont touch the ground..haha..litle baldy dude ..

[jordinho13]

Matt Pinfield!

[NiymbleFingers]

She has beautiful eyes. Like haunting naive (wide-eyed) look, but she's an old soul.

[monatokee]

haha that comment from theriokid is ridiculous...I will cut you a break because she is beautiful and she probably can just look at one of u horn dog idiot men and you would imagine her offering more than just her attention in an interview. BUT it is annoying that you would think that of her...moron!

[theriokid]

@monatokee Ah, you're just some sexually repressed lil bitch with issues, lol.

[Ruubikon]

Chiona Apple?

[niqiisade]

Beautiful! wow...

[theriokid]

That's some serious body language she's got going on there. I don't give a damn about her music. If that girl was sitting in front of me like that, leering at me with those baby blues, I swear we'd be in bed that night. At 1:38 to 1:55, her body language was so suggestive, you could see him losing his composure a bit. That was kinda funny.

[kjsass1]

@theriokid

Oopsies, didn't mean to thumbs-up.

...What are you talking about? I saw nothing suggestive.

[theriokid]

@kjsass1 That's because u know nothing about body language. Notice her arms. They're not only to her side, but they're also back; her legs are spread a bit as well. This means that she's "wide open", "approachable", relaxed. Also, notice her posture. She's not upright, she's leaning back a little. Not vertical, but almost horizontal; also, a sign of approachability. And she's not afraid to look him directly in the eyes, and when she does, he totally loses it. Can't remember the "slaters", etc.

[katatmurderhaha]

@theriokid and I think you need some girlfriend... I mean REAL girlfriend

[theriokid]

@katatmurderhaha Umm, I've got, had, will have, more girlfriends than you could possibly imagine. So shutup!

[katatmurderhaha]

@theriokid so you must have a problem with sex.

[theriokid]

@katatmurderhaha Look at my name. Without going into details, let's just say I've spent some time in Rio. Women and sex are not my problem.

[angeleyes86ebby]

@theriokid I dont get your comment...if you dont know about her music, or the kind of person she is, you would misinterpret her body language which you have already done. She acts the same way in every interview because she is a laid back, unique, deeply humble person. I can relate because she is alot like me. Her body language is not "sexual" or even meant to be attractive, that is just who she is. How you feel towards her makes you interpret her falsely.

Listen to her music before you judge.

[theriokid]

@angeleyes86ebby I don't have to know anything about her music, or the kind of person she is. I just gotta know that she's a girl. And If a girl is sitting in front of me like that, her body language would be telling me that IF I have my shit together, I can have her. The bald guy was pityfully overwhelmed, lol. Can you blame him, though? He's fat, unattactive, and Fiona Apple is sitting in front of him like that!

Trust me, your body language says much more about you than your words.

[angeleyes86ebby]

@theriokid I understand & Im not knocking you for your viewpoint. However, let me ask you, how many times does a male misinterpret a females body language simply because he finds her attractive? Only to realize what he's thinking is nowhere near whats going on in her mind?

It happens CONSTANTLY.

Trust me Im a tomboy thats happened alot to me & its not cool.

When a person naturally shows consistent body language & another person who doesn't know them misreads it...it can often be mistaken.

[theriokid]

@angeleyes86ebby Okay, I'll give you that. I'm sure it does happen a lot. But I can always tell, and I never approach girls who look unapproachable, no matter how attractive they are. No need to waste my time, and I'm certainly not a sexual harasser. My motto is, plenty fishes in the sea. My point is, in this case, she is giving this guy subtle signals. I'm not saying that she, sleeps around, or even wants this guy. I'm just saying that at this moment, she looks VERY sexually approachable.

[angeleyes86ebby]

@theriokid Lol, agreed. Fiona can't help being cute;)

[222Lightning]

wow all these years later ............blown away by the psychodelic metaphoric mind of Fiona Apple............album name Tidal...........a collection of songs making a wave...........a rumble in her life of obscurity.

[MsCasper44]

lord of chord ..hellooo you forgot alanis morrissette! lol

[MsCasper44]

lord of chord ..hellooo you for alanis morrissette! lol

[IcyHot311]

Haha he said chiona apple. anyway she is so pretty and talented

[KitchenNowBitch]

We'll be back with Chiona Apple in just a bit

[sonicdeath10]

@KitchenNowBitch He does say Chiona. Whoa.

[qpqpism]

くそぅ英語をわかるようになりたい・・・・せめて字幕があればっ­。。。；；

[ambernich]

wtf are they sitting on ?

[jrlynn79]

Good ol days of MTV.Fiona at her all time hotness

[Poopaskull]

@jrlynn79 She's still super hot though :)

[lordofchord]

there are few "real" musicians left now....its all marketed,engineered teeny projects centered around kids who have semi-decent vocals but no musical or writing abilities.its incredibly sad!!

Most of the female singer/songwriters of the nineties actually had "all around' talent which rightfully earned them the title "artists" :

Sarah McLachlan,Fiona Apple,Paula Cole,Jewel,Shawn Colvin,Jann Arden,Sheryl Crow,Melanie Doanne,Natalie Merchant, Ani DiFranco,Chantal Kreviazuk...

I miss real music..

[LeDiskoLove99]

God I love her.

The best singer/musician the world ever had.

[dowdrum]

fiona is a man user. cute little user. gathers up the men to spit them all out and whine about it like a vampire.

[Malzarin]

@dowdrum Lmao, true or not, male rock stars have always been known for their respect of women on the road. I enjoy her laments but that is because they are well written and well performed. Enjoy the music and reserve your personal judgements for something that is relevant or makes sense.

Good day

[PhantomFauxPas]

I love the way she explains the album's "Tidal" :) i love this girl.

[01jarf]

yeah this beautyful girl..has that look where u know she is a bad girl under the covers..haa.i love fiona and her music..

[As33forme]

she's not at all dark or brooding, sulking. She's talks like a normal person who's about 20, like, she's all, like you know......only much less annoying than some you hear that age.

[JadeInBlack777]

Fiona's so beautiful, inside and out.

[EstaMyth]

Hell, what happened to mtv ... Looking at it now, compared to this (1997), its incredibly pathetic how things turned out.

Also, I love Fiona, she's amazingly talented. I miss the 90's.

[blakevickrey]

Matt pinhead! what the hell happened to you?

[rocknfuckenroll]

That guy's pitchin' a secret tent in his pants

[hiphopspriority30]

MTV prolly fired this guy because his interviews were too uncut and honest to the question because u don't get interviews like this especially with someone like Fiona on MTV anymore..

[fireonhigh1]

for sure club kid.

[clubkid29]

what if mtv still did things like this?! the world would be a much better place.

[parlachinchilla]

fiona apple is gorgeous, she could be a model, but she choosed to be a role model! =D

[anonwebserfer]

look at 4:40 to 4:42 she "drops her jaw "expression.  thats very rare

[0Lollipop0100]

is or was she on drugs?

[mommyimadeapoopy]

i think she's just a little awkward.nothing wrong with that,it's cute

[Wonderwh98]

well she was just a teen when her first album came out, it's teen awkward

[arained]

whats the name of the song at the beginning?

[joey888267]

sleep to dream

[resandelantis]

lol poor sarah looks like the goddamn cloverfield monster in comparison to fiona... hell most women do!

[GreatUnwashedMass]

@resandelantis lol. she doesn't look bad to me but I had to laugh at the cloverfield part.

[Zawan]

I wish I could take all these comments and make them one comment and then take credit for it.

I heart this woman.

[mommyimadeapoopy]

matt looks incredibly turned on at  3:08 haha. cant blame him!

[HolzeNaF]

watch the interview only to get a look on that face, and yup, he definitely is :D

[bjbler2396]

Fiona is incredible. She is the most unique musician I have ever heard, and I love her for her quirks. She is amazing!

[ifyoufly]

She looks about 2.5x times taller than the little man. She warps me...i fucking love her.

[DavidLynch007]

I love Fiona. She reminds me so much of myself.

[jimmylimmicks]

I second that!

[Phazonin]

Could this girl be any more gorgeous? Ahhh Fiona where are thou... your fans miss you.

[zhemii]

I love her awkwardness - reminds me of myself

[yavin4jc]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH­AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA ha

[anulay]

Matt Pinfield (the guy interviewing her) is harmless and seems like a pretty cool dude.

[darksensations]

Matt Pinfield=Vintage MTV. I ♥ him for that very reason.

[NaveedIqbal]

hhaha "uncle fester guy". Good one!

[DarkSunshineRain]

Wow I was about to turn 10 when this was filmed.

[harpervalleypta123]

She seems really uncomfortable about the man interviewing her.

[peoplethought]

She always looks uncomfortable.

[peoplethought]

Ya I wasn't making fun of her or anything, I actually find her awkwardness attractive.

[mikemoair]

i always hated this uncle fester guy, just seemed creepy to me

[jumbz2]

haha nice analogy

[Madzho89]

this was the best time for music.and Fiona was one of the best.she is too cute and cool

[theANT47]

She's soo young here god- if you watch some of her more recent interviews she's such a woman now & she's soooo gorgeous...

[dvs1572]

When she talks it ruins it for me. She should have used the "mysterious i don't talk" gimmick. I think her personality turns people away. Don't get me wrong, her music is really good. But her personality and ego gets in the way of that. She would be more popular had she stayed more mysterious.

One can tell drugs had a lot to do with her annoying way of analyzing things and spreading her distorted views.

Sorry about all that folks.

Her music is incredible and her looks are charming.

[mariablatter]

This vid is actually a bit old...watch recent ones, she's not a bad person. I'm sure you'll find she's evolved into so much more. She's very honest and zen, you know?:)

[farouhk]

In a way, she's still pretty much a kid at the time of this. You can tell by the way she talks and formulates her thoughts. It's very adolescent. Your profile says you're 29, surely you remember being 19 and 20. What a load bullshit and self importance 19 and 20 is. I'm only 22, and look back two years and think "jesus farouhk, were you fscking *retarded*?"

[Seedr0]

Yea, those damn drugs causing us to think differently... it would be much better if we all thought identical and we furthered the capitalistic machine.

[funkymusicluvr]

do you mean hard drugs? cuz ive never heard that she was into that. she smoked pot, but who doesn't? and it wasnt that that made her wierd.

[ThundaLippz]

damn she was so cute here. looks like chasey lains lil sister...if she has one.

[cdm0014]

lmao

[bumblebeeees]

WOW. Mtv used to air real musicians. It's been so long I've forgotten.

[SoulsForPaper]

Yeah... but not THAT many real musicians. It has certainly dropped off considerably. Not that I really know because I can't stomach watching MTV anymore. Do they actually have music on MTV still?

[sapphirevaltiel]

No n_n. Only Tokio Hotel and Lady Gaga. Hail music!

[Euphorianna]

@bumblebeeees so sad...

[pillarsofserpents]

@bumblebeeees - yeah, and they also had VJ's who actually know things about music. not ex-frat boys and club skanks looking for some attention. lol.

[TheRealJadeSpade]

@bumblebeeees

WORD

[nit1221]

i love how laid back she seems

[mrrjenkims]

She was so hot back then!

[kxaxrxl]

hello... she is still hot!

[farouhk]

She was ever so slightly hotter back then.

[talkingtothemoon]

Why is she sitting like that? Bothers me.

[jonahking]

he's on the bone

[PrettyDoctor]

She looks like a really hot Olsen twin...with musical talent.

And John says 'yeah' and is looking at her at 3:10 like he wants to jump her. haha.

[kubkins]

he sure does

[PrettyDoctor]

Just for the record, before anyone jumps down my throat - I'm a straight woman - I just mentioned that because I thought it was funny :)

[kubkins]

cut the shit. we all know you're a gay man, and thats cool

[PrettyDoctor]

HAHAHAAHAHAAAAAAAAH!!!

Oh yeah that's it. I'm a 600 pound transvestite with breasts and a penis. Totally. haha.

[farouhk]

Dude.. the Olsen twins look like those ugly ass little troll dolls with the big hair, except real. Hot is... so not Olsen twins.

[geniusem2]

I respect fiona apple because I can relate to her. She's really down to earth and like in her life, people think I am crazy because of our emotional ways... but life is crazy itself you know...the world is really messed up and it messes w/ the mind. I love her music also. Very deep :0)

[zaveren]

now looking back she really wasn't as I annoying as I thought

[anailujita]

she looks so young and so cute

i love her!

[PrettyDoctor]

She was only 19 in this vid!

[sabrinavsginc]

I just awaken this is 10 years ago wow...

[always6or7]

at 3:09 matt has a look on his face like "wow,you're the woman of my dreams" haha

[Send1UrLuv]

Back when MTV actually discussed music.

[blatspanner]

i always do people and then forget about them.ha.

[redhotchilipenguin]

'i always do things and then forget about them' hahahah aw i love her

[yentihwv]

she is such an interesting person

[iridget]

love her!

[iridget]

-you're able to keep those melodies in your head?

-i'm not able to get them out of my head that's what's driving me crazy

:)

[Tinymoezzy]

I love a good interview plus this fella looks like a cute little troll.

[kajatesa18]

Thanks for posting this!!

[ufis567]

ahhhhhhhhh fiona we love you
