"Do you want to be an artist and a writer, a wife and a lover?With kids, your focus changes.  I don't want to go to PTA meetings"

"Besides wanting to be an artist I wanted to be a movie star"

Fiona Apple & Jon Brion "He's Funny That Way" Video

In January of this year Fiona Apple organized an event at L.A.'s Club Largo
to benefit the victims of the earthquake in Haiti, here she performs Billie Holiday's jazz standard He's Funny That Way
with producer/musician Jon Brion.
As always her voice is simply perfect!!!



PS: The reason the video is so shaky is because is a secret/unauthorized filming, since Club Largo has a very strict policy against use of any type of recording/photographing device!
