"man, man… i didn’t prepare a speech, and i’m sorry, but i’m glad that i didn’t. because i’m not gonna do this the way everybody else does this. because everybody i should be thanking, i’m really sorry but i have to use this time. see, maya angelou said that we - we as human beings at our best can only create opportunities, and i’m gonna use this opportunity in the way that i wanna use it. so what i want to say is, umm… to everybody that’s watching, everybody that’s watching this world… this world is bullshit and you shouldn’t model you life - wait a second! - you shouldn’t model your life about what you think that we think is cool. even though i have an eating disorder and i have somehow sold out to the patriarchy in this culture that says that lean is better. even though i have done that and have done a video wherein i wear underwear so that you young girls out there can covet (?), and feel bad about what you have, and how thin you’re not - the point is i have done it, i am lean. that’s why i did succeed sooner than maybe other musicians that maybe were better lyricists, better vocals, i don’t know, better songwriters, i can’t say that, but i do know this: this world is bullsh - did i say that this world is bullshit? Because it is. and my boyfriend can make you disappear. he can pull something out of your ear and say things like ‘we have not met before, have we?’. go with yourself." -fiona apple
man, this world is so much fun, wouldn’t you agree? ^_^
