More quotes by Alanis Morissette
My yearn for home is broadened Patriotism expanded By callings from beyond So I pack my things Nothing precious All things sacred
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
Breakups are a horrible thing for almost everybody I know. For someone who is a love addict, it's debilitating.
Alanis Morissette
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.
Alanis Morissette
I listen to my records and I think, 'Wow, these are really great appetizers. I haven't even considered what I'm going to order for the full entree meal yet.'
Alanis Morissette
Kale is my best friend. I eat kale salad. I put kale in my smoothies, kale in my soup. Kale, kale, kale! I feel like Popeye. I love it. I definitely need variety or I get super bored, so I have to mix it up with different sauces and tahini or whatever.
Alanis Morissette
It's when someone has an agenda of their own for the record that it doesn't work for me.
Alanis Morissette
I think quite spiritually of myself. I feel like I'm here to support the human evolution.
Alanis Morissette
There's a continuity between what I care about in any form: I care about it in my music, in article-writing, in how I dress, in how I live, in my relationships, in how I navigate paparazzi, how I decorate my home. There's such a continuity between everything that I don't really care what form it shows up in.
Alanis Morissette
When I was producing on my own, I was doing it in order to - in a very patriarchal entertainment industry, let alone planet - very much hell-bent on trying to prove to myself, if nothing else, that I could do it as a woman.
Alanis Morissette
I understand that people are afraid. Because I think censorship is about fear. It's just fear being projected onto art.
Alanis Morissette
When I start writing songs and it turns into an overly belabored intellectual process, I just throw it out.
Alanis Morissette
The thing I always default to is that I'll always be here to write songs.
Alanis Morissette
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.
Alanis Morissette
I was born in '74, so I missed out on all the great early '60s and early '70s.
Alanis Morissette
At one point, I was just perceived as only being angry, but now I'm being perceived as angry, peaceful, and spiritual.
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
Life has a funny way of helping you out when you think that everything's gone wrong.
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 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
