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.

More quotes by Alanis Morissette
The thing I always default to is that I'll always be here to write songs.
Alanis Morissette
It's exciting for people to define who they are in relation to what I write - whether it be by loving or hating it.
Alanis Morissette
I think there is no better way to invite a human being to view their body differently than by inviting them to be an athlete, by revering one's body as an instrument rather than just an ornament.
Alanis Morissette
We'll love you just the way you are if you're perfect.
Alanis Morissette
I was extremely moved by the plight of Tsunami victims and I was inspired to try to make a difference.
Alanis Morissette
Writing the record for me - every record is almost a surprise. When people ask me, what are the themes you want to grapple with on this one? I have no idea until the record's finished.
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
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.
Alanis Morissette
I highly recommend getting older! There's less tendency to people-please.
Alanis Morissette
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
I know that I'm deeply, spiritually, profoundly philosophical and I also know that I'm about the flakiest person you're gonna meet.
Alanis Morissette
Canada has a passive-aggressive culture, with a lot of sarcasm and righteousness. That went with my weird messianic complex. The ego is a fascinating monster. I was taught from a young age that I had to serve, so that turned into me thinking I had to save the planet.
Alanis Morissette
I think the Bible is hugely patriarchal. There are so many sexist comments and homophobic comments and comments that are not in keeping with nurturing and loving the human spirit.
Alanis Morissette
I make up new lyrics to well-known lullabies. Mostly because I don't actually know a lot of the lyrics.
Alanis Morissette
Writing a song doesn't heal things. Even if the song comes up with a solution, it's still only a theory. Going out and living my lyrics is a whole other deal. That takes courage.
Alanis Morissette
I'm quite obsessed with the idea of nailing the girl friendship. It's such an art, so delicate.
Alanis Morissette
I hope that there is a very confused 14 year old girl out there who hears me speak or hears me sing and derives some sort of strength from that I heard that when I was 14 that's exactly what happened.
Alanis Morissette
Society, magazines, posters, music videos, investment bankers. A lot of times, in my past anyway, looking within wasn't overly encouraged. Pretty much everybody proclaimed that fame would give me power and fortune.
Alanis Morissette
I find as an artist if I'm not expressed relatively consistently, I get really depressed.
Alanis Morissette
My own approach has always been to push intense emotions down and attempt to deal with them later.
Alanis Morissette
