At one point, I was just perceived as only being angry, but now I'm being perceived as angry, peaceful, and spiritual.

Typically I go in the studio and whatever I'm contemplating that day will wind up being a song. I don't come in with lyrics... I just go in and let it happen.

Over the last couple of years, I've really worked toward balancing my life out more, having a little bit more time with friends, family and my boyfriend. There was a period of time when they were way down the list. It was all about music and touring and if everything fell by the wayside, so be it.

I'm excited about there being more of a sisterhood these days. Back in the '90s there was a lot of hate - the women I looked up to as artists were dissing me! It's not so patriarchal these days - there's more love and a lot less hate!

I found that the more truthful and vulnerable I was, the more empowering it was for me.
Alanis Morissette
Image
It's not hard to feel afraid and insecure. I still fight an inner-critic voice, definitely. I hear it a lot.
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.

Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you When you think everything's okay and everything's going right And life has a funny way of helping you out when You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up In your face

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.

Image
You live, you learn, you love, you learn, you cry, you learn, you lose, you learn, you bleed, you learn, you scream, you learn

I was left to painstakingly deal with the aftermath of my avoidance later in life, in therapy or through the lyrics of my songs.

If I could sell 500 million records every time, it would be great. But I've also had the luxury experience of having it when I was a teenager, in a very kind of model version of it.

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 thought the more famous I became, the more friendships I would have, but the opposite was true.
