When I start writing songs and it turns into an overly belabored intellectual process, I just throw it out.
Alanis Morissette
Image
Unless I really loved it and felt really passionate about it, I would just kind of abort the song and start a new one.
Alanis Morissette
Image
When I'm really, really angry, if I'm privileged enough to be next to someone who can hold my anger, I'll definitely take them up on holding the bucket.

What I wouldn't give to find a soul mate, someone else to catch this drift.

Anytime there's separatism going on. It happens all the time, because the illusion before us is that we are separate. It gives us this sense of egoic identity, which is lovely in its own way.

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

When I pray, I'm just talking to what some people might call our higher selves: God, myself, my intuition, my heart. Whatever that is, that's where I go.

My own approach has always been to push intense emotions down and attempt to deal with them later.
Alanis Morissette
Image
The whole idea of emotions being something we can't escape as humans, but that deep suffering that comes from resisting them, we can move out of that just by not resisting anymore. But it takes a really brave warrior soul to sit there in these emotions that admittedly don't feel good in the body.

When someone says that I'm angry it's actually a compliment. I have not always been direct with my anger in my relationships, which is part of why I'd write about it in my songs because I had such fear around expressing anger as a woman.

Once I know who I'm not, then I'll know who I am.
Alanis Morissette
Image
I want to walk through life instead of being dragged through it.
Alanis Morissette

I am a firm believer that one way to become enlightened is to be so relaxed, as relaxed as you possibly can be.
Alanis Morissette
Image
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.

How about not equating death with stopping?

Image
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.
Alanis Morissette
Image
I'll keep evolving and put that into my songs.

I'm saying what a lot of people would want to say but are too embarrassed.
