Quotes by Fiona Apple:
| In 2008, Fiona Apple visited Green Chimneys, where students with emotional, behavioral, social and learning challenges work with animals. About that visit she said: |
| "I mean, (animals) work in here for a reason. ... They do soothe you by being around them. In a sense, even though you grow up knowing what a horse is and what a cow is and what a dog is, I think it's still interesting -- the whole idea of the kids rehabilitating the animals and, in that process, the animals rehabilitating the kids. I think that idea, it just makes so much sense and obviously it works. It's just a beautiful concept of the way the world should work. People should heal each other by helping each other. So I'm attracted to that actually being put into action." |
| In a 2005 interview with Jim DeRogatis she said: |
| "I'm not really up in the activist world right now, ... I'm not really thinking about it. I'm a vegan, but I don't care if you're eating turkey in front of me. I'm not a preaching vegan." |
| In 1997, Fiona Apple recorded the following phone message for PETA in a campaign to boycott Butterball turkeys on Thanksgiving: |
| "There's no proper way to kill and cook these beautiful birds ... millions of people are learning that a vegetarian diet is the healthy choice for themselves, the Earth, and the animals." |
