More quotes by Alanis Morissette
But once I acclimated and really used fame for what it was offering me as a tool to serve my life purpose of inspiring and contributing, then it started to get fun again.
Alanis Morissette
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.
Alanis Morissette
When pain brings you down, don't be silly, don't close your eyes and cry, you just might be in the best position to see the sun shine.
Alanis Morissette
I was left to painstakingly deal with the aftermath of my avoidance later in life, in therapy or through the lyrics of my songs.
Alanis Morissette
All I can promise myself and everyone else is that this record is a snapshot of thisperiod in my life. It will be that by default.
Alanis Morissette
So many boys, so little time.
Alanis Morissette
As long as I can say what it is that I need to say, then I'll fit whatever I'm trying to say around a melody.
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
What's that line from TS Eliot? To arrive at the place where you started, but to know it for the first time. I'm able to write about a breakup from a different place. Same brokenness. Same rock-bottom. But a little more informed, now I'm older. Thank God for growing up.
Alanis Morissette
I need to be performing. I need to be acting. I need to be designing a condo and ripping down walls and buying new plates and looking at fashion magazines. There always has to be some movement in the artistic department for me to not get really, really low.
Alanis Morissette
I'm sad, but I'm laughing.
Alanis Morissette
I was motivated by just thinking that if you had all this external success that everyone would love you and everything would be peaceful and wonderful.
Alanis Morissette
I see the whole concept of Generation X implies that everyone has lost hope.
Alanis Morissette
In my opinion, I think sarcasm and humor in a song, without turning it into a novelty song, is really charming.
Alanis Morissette
I try to keep a low profile in general. Not with my art, but just as a person.
Alanis Morissette
I can be in the worst PMS, Mercury in retrograde, most awful circumstance - and then if my girlfriends and I are giggling about it, everything's okay.
Alanis Morissette
Europe seems a little softer, but in America it's harsh. In L.A., where I live, it's all about perfectionism.
Alanis Morissette
Love is thick and it swallows me whole.
Alanis Morissette
Trauma happens in relationships, so it can only be healed in relationships. Art can't provide healing. It can be cathartic and therapeutic but a relationship is a three-part journey.
Alanis Morissette
I've been really enjoying writing articles and writing music and music for movies.
