Molly Crabapple Quotes

I do become a recluse once in a while. It's so nice to just be at home and to not have to deal with the outside world.

I don't really feel comfortable anywhere except when I'm working alone at home. It's exhausting to be out around people.

I stay in a lot.

I'm extremely introverted. I used to think it was shyness, but I got over that, so it must be door No. 2. It's still hard for me to be away from home much, and I have to make sure I get lots of time alone in my room when I'm touring.

Sometimes travelling really intensely for a long time is like having a continuous nervous breakdown.

All of a sudden to get all of this attention, and to be away from home and working all the time was hard. I was on planes all the time. I didn't see my friends. I cried a lot. It was quite terrifying.

I hardly even leave my own house.

People drain me, even the closest of friends, and I find loneliness to be the best state in the union to live in.

I have no friends and I never leave my house.

I don't go out much.

The hiatus you spoke about happened in 1998. I was somewhat numb from being out on the road every night. I had to stop because I was emotionally and physically drained.

I'm very shy really. I spend a lot of time in my room alone reading or writing or watching television.

There are always things I find difficult - being in crowds, remembering faces. I do like routines. I always travel with someone. My life in Avignon is a very quiet one. I have an apartment that looks over the whole city. I can drop into town, but a lot of the time I write from home. In some respects I still live a very quiet, simple life.

I spend most of my time in a room alone where eight hours go by, and I have no sense of time. I work seven days a week, and I live in this sort of vague subconscious fog a lot.

I used to like going out so much, and now I can't get myself to leave home.

I'm the type who'd be happy not going anywhere as long as I was sure I knew exactly what was happening at the places I wasn't going to. I'm the type who'd like to sit home and watch every party that I'm invited to on a monitor in my bedroom.

I don't want to start getting my little violin out, but travelling across the world constantly and staying in hotels is tough, man.

My day is spent hiding from people.

Everyone keeps asking me when I have time to rest. I'll tell you when: I get all my sleep on planes. If the flight is five hours, my nap is five hours! I'll sleep through the whole flight.

It's kind of hard when you're on the road all the time, from one show to the next, from one hotel room to the next hotel room, it's kind of hard to think about everything.

I love throwing parties and being sociable and dancing. But I also have this other homebody side and can become quite isolated and anxious.

I just want to be quiet wherever I go, not seeing people, not facing more pressure, because every time now I go home, I will have so many people waiting for me.
