She's a deep, fragile, delicate & beautiful person. Lives in her head, constantly probing for more from inside and pulling music out of it. She would be amazing to know. Alas.

I know that poetry doesn't have to rhyme but I agree with Fiona. It's so fascinating when you make the sentences rhyme and they work together perfectly - both in music and poetry.

this guy's fine you all are nuts it's actually good that he's mellow cuz he lets the guest talk and he doesn't constantly interrupt and throw off their train of thought. a lot of interviewers make the mistake of jumping in every 2 seconds and then its just a lot of stops and starts that never go anywhere this guy's fine he is mellow and yes some good questions about how she writes music with the melody in the cadence thing and it was interesting and that's fine you're all nuts saying he is creepy

hell yeah. this is one of the best fiona interviews out there; it proceeds in a much more journalistic way than most. people get too set in the casualty of most tv-interviews and forget that there are other sorts of exchanges to be had, and that long-form journalism interviews are, for the interviewers, more about listening than inserting their own personality. people also forget that video interviews in which the interviewer is cut and the clips are only monologues from the subject have a faceless question-asker at all. this is like those, only you see the guy's face & hear his voice. the exchange doesn't have to be about a superficial chemistry forged between interviewer and interviewee for the sake of the territory of the show itself. remove that, and something else happens entirely, and it is perfect.

Are you kidding me?! Yes he intact intercepted her quite a few times. He was filling in for someone else and never interviewed before it turns out. He sucked. He was rude and interpreted to end the interview at the end. Re watch it. Seriously. If this was your job...would you have felt you would be fired afterwards? I know I would. I'm not even experienced but I'd have been knowledgeable of her and had done better with a connection and enthusiasm. He's moolnotone, rude, short and blunt and intruotive and ends the whole thing out of nowhere. The dude sucked worse than a bissel!

When I first saw her in the 90's I thought she was the most beautiful creature I'd ever seen. Coupled with her awesome personality, she is still to this day...the girl of my dreams. She is so incredible. I was at the SAG awards as a guest chef in 1996 or so and this babe was standing by herself right next to me enjoying the show. I took a second look of course...and it was Fiona. I couldn't even say a word, I knew my voice would crackle if I tried to speak! I missed my one chance! Life sucks.

I was around during the Free Fiona campaign, probably one of the first organic people-powered digital campaigns ever, lol. Fiona is part of the digital evolution of humanity. Jokes aside, at the time I took the leak to be simply someone saying, “this is amazing and deserves to be heard.” Of course at the time we thought Fiona wanted this record, this version, released. It took some of us quite some time to believe that she had delayed/abandoned/restarted the project out of her own volition. These interviews, however, leave no doubt. I do hope some day the demos get a proper release. Yes, they sound like a partnership between Fiona and Jon, rather than a Fiona record, but god isn’t it fantastic.

There are alot of singers/artists who are...lets just say priceless. Who are either dropped, or go unnoticed. There are ppl who are willing to do anything for fame or money, & then those that just wanna do what they love while being themselves. Those are THE MOST BEAUTIFULLY TALENTED PPL. Superficiality seems to be more profitable than substance nowadays.

It is ironic how much time is spent on comments regarding superficial approval. The interviewer is polite, yet serious & Fiona is an artist who believes in being herself regardless of what others think! Commendable qualities! Go watch your Kanye & lil wayne videos, & leave the intelligent, multi-layered individuals alone. I love Fiona Apple, she is brilliant & an amazing artist. And the rude comments would come even if the interview was bubbly, flashy, & one dimentional. This is what an intelligent interview looks like. Get a life people, & stop trying to put other people in social boxes YOU think they should be in...its weird. We are allowed to be just the way God made us. Yes, God, remember him? He's in charge, not you.

Cmon man!!! Sorry I feel the need to expresss that he really irritated me due to his Disrespect and how he cut her off at the end. She's amazing and I only kept watching this because of her. And because she's garnered that respect enough that no matter whose a shitty interviewer I'll always give Fiona's the time to always watch what she's given her time towards.

I wonder how she feels about current fans giving ALL her music away for free on youtube, while she isn't even touring anymore. The money she could make of her music has probably plummeted 90 percent.
