Internet Zitate

Interviewer: I read a post on the Internet from a young girl who had been victimized by someone and her position was like, "I can talk about this now because Fiona Apple can talk about what happened to her." Do you look at yourself as a role model for women and girls who've had this experience?
Fiona: That's the only reason I ever brought the whole rape thing up. It's a terrible thing, but it

happens to so many people. I mean, 80 percent of the people I've told have said right back to me, "That happened to me too." It's so common, and so ridiculous that it's a hard thing to talk about. It angers me so much because something like that happens to you and you carry it around for the rest of your life. No matter how much therapy you go through, no matter how much healing you go through,

it's part of you. I just feel that it's such a tragedy that so many people have to bear the extra burden of having to keep it secret from everyone else. As if it's too icky a subject to burden other people with and everyone's going to think you're a victim forever. Then you've labeled yourself a victim, and you've been taken advantage of, and you're ruined, and you're soiled, and you're not pure,

you know.If I'm in a position where people are looking up to me in any way, then it's absolutely my responsibility to be open and honest about this, because if I'm not, what does that say to people? It doesn't change a person -- well, it does change a person but it doesn't take anything away from you. It can only strengthen you. It has made me so angry in the past. Like I wanted to say it to

somebody. I really wanted somebody to connect with, somebody to understand me, somebody to comfort me. But I felt like I couldn't say anything about because it was taboo to talk about.

Charlie:"Ich denke, du hast das grosse Ganze aus den Augen verloren."
Kip:"Welches grosse Ganze?"
Charlie:"Das Universum."
Kip:"Was ist mit dem Universum?"
Charlie:"Naja, das Universum ist ne ziemlich grosse Nummer."
Kip:"Ja, es ist unendlich. theoretisch."
Charlie:"Richtig. Was bedeutet, dass es vermutlich Leben auf anderen Planeten gibt.

Kip:"Nicht Leben wie wir es uns vorstellen. Vermutlich Einzeller oder andere Organismen.."
Charlie:"Siehst du, genau darum geht es mir! Ich meine, du hättest auch als Einzeller auf dem Planeten Zortex geboren werden können. Und ich meine, wenn man die Chancen betrachtet, dann wär das sogar sehr wahrscheinlich. Aber das wurdest du nicht. Du wurdest als menschliches Wesen geboren. Und

nicht nur als menschliches Wesen in der Geschichte der menschlichen Wesen sondern als menschliches Wesen, dass heute leben darf! Das in der Lage ist alle möglichen Arten von Musik zu hören, dass Nahrungsmittel aus allen möglichen Kulturen essen kann, dass sich Pornos aus dem Internet laden kann. Du hast so viel, wofür es sich lohnt zu leben."

Charlie:"Fühlst du

dich besser?"
Kip:"Nein, irgendwie nicht."
