Quentin Tarantino and Paul Thomas Anderson helped Fiona Apple Quit Cocaine

Speaking to The New Yorker’s Emily Nussbaum, Apple looked back on the years of her life characterized by drug and alcohol abuse, including one wild night at the home of Quentin Tarantino. Apple was then dating filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson, whom she began seeing in 1997, and with whom she shared a tumultuous, drug-fueled three years. Apple recalled the “one excruciating night” at Tarantino’s home that caused her to swear off cocaine forever, wherein she spent the night listening to Anderson and Tarantino brag.

“Every addict should just get locked in a private movie theatre with Q.T. and P.T.A. on coke, and they’ll never want to do it again,” Apple joked.

Apple went on to describe her relationship with Anderson, who directed music videos for her songs, while she wrote a wrap for his film Magnolia. Though their partnership was creatively collaborative, Apple remembers their relationship as “painful and chaotic,” characterized by criticism and contempt. Apple described Anderson’s temper, recalling how he threw a chair across the room after the 1998 Academy Awards, where Boogie Nights lost Best Original Screenplay. Apple recalled thinking, “fukk this, this is not a good relationship.” Apple also remembered another incident where Anderson shoved her out of his car and onto the sidewalk. Anderson declined to comment to The New Yorker through his agent.

I used to ski once in awhile but like you I prefer to smoke. Now I'm older and hitched so it just never comes into my orbit anymore. But reminiscing on my past experience talking shyt is skiers favorite past time. So the pictire Fiona Apple paints seems accurate and hilarious. I have heard regular 9 to 5 Junior execs talk shyt and it be unbearable imagine what accomplished directors sound like.
