Image
Music will always be a part of my life. I love music and I don't care how many units I sell.
Alanis Morissette
Image
I think it's irresponsible when celebrities imply they're doing it all themselves. My son has aunties and uncles around all the time, and my husband is my hero. He's really full-on. I couldn't do it any other way.

I was born in '74, so I missed out on all the great early '60s and early '70s.

The more vulnerable and the more confused the song is, the equal and opposite effect is how I feel after having written it.
Alanis Morissette

When someone says that I'm angry it's actually a compliment. I have not always been direct with my anger in my relationships, which is part of why I'd write about it in my songs because I had such fear around expressing anger as a woman.
Alanis Morissette
Image
When I was younger, I was terrified to express anger because it would often kick-start a horrible reaction in the men in my life. So I bit my tongue. I was left to painstakingly deal with the aftermath of my avoidance later in life, in therapy or through the lyrics of my songs.

A brave action is often followed by grief. Do not let my resistance to grief stop the brave action.

I happen to be lucky in that I knew what I wanted to do as far as a career since I was nine years old.

Running has made being depressed impossible. If I'm going through something emotional and just go outside for a run, you can rest assured I'll come back with clarity.

Image
Love is thick and it swallows me whole.
Alanis Morissette
Image
Courage and willingness to just go for it, whether it is a conversation or a spontaneous trip or trying new things that are scary - it is a really attractive quality.
Alanis Morissette
Image
I think when someone blindly projects and it's showing up in the form of envy or hate - and I actually think they're synonymous - that's when I feel the most afraid and disconnected and vulnerable. Like whenever I don't feel safe in my own hands, in terms of my not being tender or merciful with myself, or when we're treating each other that way.

When I pray, I'm just talking to what some people might call our higher selves: God, myself, my intuition, my heart. Whatever that is, that's where I go.

Whether you’re checked in or checked out, you’re always on a spiritual journey.

Image
It's a joke to think that anyone is one thing. We're all such complex creatures. But if I'm going to be a poster child for anything, anger's a gorgeous emotion. It gets a bad rap, but it can make great changes happen.

Breakups are a horrible thing for almost everybody I know. For someone who is a love addict, it's debilitating.

Image
I would not have discredited every one of their compliments. It was your approval I wanted, your congratulations.
Alanis Morissette
Image
I remember how beautiful it was to fall asleep on your couch and cry in front of you for the first time. You were the best platform from which to jump beyond myself. What was wrong with me?
Alanis Morissette
Image
I have a profound empathy for people who are in the public eye, whether they manifest it themselves or whether it happened by accident - it doesn't matter to me. I think there's a great misunderstanding of what it is to be famous.

I didn't have high self-esteem when I was a teen-ager, as I think most teen-agers don't.
