- Her "fhw" tattoo stands for "Fiona has wings," a personal trademark which refers to a childhood daydream where she rises above her schoolmates who then exclaim, "Fiona has wings!"
- Her 3rd album, Extraordinary Machine, was completed in 2003 but Sony Music delayed the release and eventually decided not to ever release the album based on the projection that it would not sell.

- She was sexually assaulted at the age of 12 on her way home from school.
- Had a pit bull dog named Janet and had to cancel the South American leg of her tour in 2012 when she was dying from a tumor.
- This world is bullshit, and you shouldn't model your life about what you think that you think we think is cool, and what we're wearing, and what we're saying and everything. Go with yourself.
- When I was a kid--10, 11, 12, 13--the thing I wanted most in the world was a best friend. I wanted to be important to people; to have people that understood me. I wanted to just be close to somebody. And back then, a thought would go through my head almost constantly: "There's never gonna be a room someplace where there's a group of people sitting around, having fun, hanging out, where one of them goes, 'You know what would be great? We should call Fiona. Yeah, that would be good.' That'll never happen. There's nothing interesting about me." I just felt like I was a sad little boring thing.
- I don't go on lunch dates with friends. I hear about people having dinner parties but I never do that. I'm not really human.
- I don't have that spur on my ass that most people have, like, "Oh, god. I have to get something out or else my career will be over!" I don't really care if my career is over.
- Because for whatever reason, even though I want to stay home all the time and be left alone, I want to tell the world who I am now.
