Alanis Morissette
Oh these little rejections how they add up quickly, one small sideways look and I feel so ungood. Somewhere along the way I think I gave you the power to make me feel the way I thought only my father could.
Alanis Morissette
When pain brings you down, don't be silly, don't close your eyes and cry, you just might be in the best position to see the sun shine.
Alanis Morissette
The person who knows HOW will always have a job. The person who knows WHY will always be his boss.
Alanis Morissette
A brave action is often followed by grief. Do not let my resistance to grief stop the brave action.
Alanis Morissette
As long as I can say what it is that I need to say, then I'll fit whatever I'm trying to say around a melody.
Alanis Morissette
To whom do I owe the first apology? No one's been crueler than I've been to me.
Alanis Morissette
I make up new lyrics to well-known lullabies. Mostly because I don't actually know a lot of the lyrics.
Alanis Morissette
Running has made being depressed impossible. If I'm going through something emotional and just go outside for a run, you can rest assured I'll come back with clarity.
Alanis Morissette
I'm a leave-the-bathroom-door-open nudist, which is sometimes disconcerting for my friends.
Alanis Morissette
What influenced me was Tori Amos, who was unapologetic about expressing anger through music, and Sinead O'Connor. Those two in particular were really moving for me, and very inspiring, before I wrote 'Jagged Little Pill.'
Alanis Morissette
