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.

I think quite spiritually of myself. I feel like I'm here to support the human evolution.
Alanis Morissette
Image
I have as much rage as you have, I have as much pain as you do, I've lived as much hell as you have, and I've kept mine bubbling under for you.

I think everyone's hungry for the truth

At some point, I would like to write a book and other things, but I work best when there is some sort of deadline in my own mind, but not when fifty people or fifty million people are breathing down the back of my neck.
Alanis Morissette
Image
These precious illusions in my head did not let me down when I was defenseless, and parting with them is like parting with invisible best friends.

Image
As a teen, I was both anorexic and bulimic.
Alanis Morissette
Image
I never regret anything I do. It's part of who I am now, and I like who I am now.
Alanis Morissette
Image
I think some people think I'm a smarty-pants. Some people think I'm intense, some people think I'm super-esoteric and nuts.
Alanis Morissette
Image
I grew up in a very masculine environment. So I was around a lot of men, my brothers and their friends. There was just a lot of guys around.
Alanis Morissette
Image
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.

I would never judge someone's intrigue with the spoils of fame, because I went through that.

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.
