Speaking to The New Yorker, Apple joked: “Every addict should just get locked in a private movie theatre with QT and PTA on coke, and they’ll never want to do it again.”
The singer-songwriter called filmmaker Anderson, who she was in a relationship with in the late Nineties, “coldly critical” and “contemptuous” and described her relationship with him as “painful and chaotic”.
She also shared details of her and her band’s time at Sonic Ranch studios in Texas where one band member “accidentally ate snake poison, and [she] watched the movie Whiplash on mushrooms”.
Her new album Fetch the Bolt Cutters will be released later this year.
It includes the track “On I Go” featuring Cara Delevingne.
