Easy Quote by Fiona Apple
![“I really, really enjoy fitting words together - but I only enjoy it when it's easy, when it sort of rolls along by itself. I never erase anything [and] I hardly ever write anything down... The song will be finished before I write it down... I won't write a song unless it serves me in some way…” quote by Fiona Apple](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/34d/fiona-apple-1912_easy_i-really-really-enjoy-fitting-words-toge_565894.jpg)
“I really, really enjoy fitting words together - but I only enjoy it when it's easy, when it sort of rolls along by itself. I never erase anything [and] I hardly ever write anything down... The song will be finished before I write it down... I won't write a song unless it serves me in some way, unless I feel I have to write the song to make myself feel better. If you're not overflowing with something, there's nothing to give.”
