More quotes by Alanis Morissette
I firmly believe that the only reason why I'm on this planet, the only reason why I live, breathe, and exist is, that it's my duty to be as honest as possible in my art.
Alanis Morissette
I'm clearly most well known for my music. Eventually, ultimately, I'll be writing books. I'm still writing articles now. I just consider myself a writer.
Alanis Morissette
That I would be loved even when I numb myself. That I would be good even when I am overwhelmed. That I would be loved even when I was fuming. That I would be good even if I was clingy.
Alanis Morissette
My parents offered me the idea of ceilinglessness. There was no limit in terms of what was possible no messages sent to me to say that I couldn't do anything.
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
With songwriting I spend a lot of time living life, accruing all these experiences, journaling, and then by the time I get to the studio I'm teeming with the drive to write.
Alanis Morissette
I started making music because I could.
Alanis Morissette
The whole celebrity thing is not something I'm overly interested in. I don't pop up at parties. It's just not my thing.
Alanis Morissette
Looking for approval or blaming others or feeling like a victim. Whenever I feel myself doing that I try to stop and see myself as someone who's a creator in more ways than just what the word typically means.
Alanis Morissette
We eat when we're full, and we hoard all the rest. With our hands on remotes, we say, yes, we're the best.
Alanis Morissette
I started playing piano when I was 6. And I knew that wanted to be involved in that form of expression, whether it was through music, or acting, or dancing, or painting, or writing.
Alanis Morissette
I'll be writing songs till I die. There's just no question.
Alanis Morissette
There is consequence of our forgetting who we are. Forgetting that we're able to create our environment, from our health to economy to war. Something can be done about everything we perceive as bad, if we so choose. If we are aware of the concept of compassion.
Alanis Morissette
I believe we've been given free will, and we can take responsibility for our own lives and for creating our own environments - which I think at times can be a little much for people to deal with.
Alanis Morissette
It's not hard to feel afraid and insecure. I still fight an inner-critic voice, definitely. I hear it a lot.
