More quotes by Alanis Morissette
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
My message to anyone who's afraid that they can't write music when they're happy is 'Just trust the passion.' The passion can write a lot of things.
Alanis Morissette
I started writting songs when I was really little because there were things I could say through songs that I couldn't verbalize any other way. Writting was something I had to do.
Alanis Morissette
I'm really clear about what my life mission is now. There's no more depression or lethargy, and I feel like I've returned to the athlete I once was. I'm integrating all the parts of me - jock, musician, writer, poet, philosopher - and becoming stronger as a result.
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
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.
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
I'm about 90 percent vegan. I think veganism is really well suited for training, at least for me anyway.
Alanis Morissette
I'm clearly most well known for my music. Eventually, ultimately, I'll be writing books. I'm still writing articles now. I just consider myself a writer.
Alanis Morissette
There is no better feeling than when you write something you know is a piece of you and that, at some point, is going to communicate with someone else.
Alanis Morissette
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.
Alanis Morissette
I think the Bible is hugely patriarchal. There are so many sexist comments and homophobic comments and comments that are not in keeping with nurturing and loving the human spirit.
Alanis Morissette
When I'm off the road, my husband and I recharge our batteries. It's a day of deep rest and connection with the spiritual, and that can be anything - going for a walk in nature, being in silence, burning incense.
Alanis Morissette
I know that I'm deeply, spiritually, profoundly philosophical and I also know that I'm about the flakiest person you're gonna meet.
Alanis Morissette
I see my body as an instrument, rather than an ornament.
Alanis Morissette
For four to six months at a time, I would barely eat. I lived on a diet of Melba toast, carrots, and black coffee.
Alanis Morissette
The person who knows HOW will always have a job. The person who knows WHY will always be his boss.
Alanis Morissette
Profanity is merely an expression of one's emotions
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
If someone hates or loves something, then right on. I can't rob them of that. I'm not going to try and change their mind. Something's been triggered in them to react so emotionally.
Alanis Morissette
