More quotes by 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
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 was left to painstakingly deal with the aftermath of my avoidance later in life, in therapy or through the lyrics of my songs.
Alanis Morissette
My own approach has always been to push intense emotions down and attempt to deal with them later.
Alanis Morissette
In my life, anyway, anytime that I judge something to be rigidly right or wrong, it comes from fear.
Alanis Morissette
As a teen, I was both anorexic and bulimic.
Alanis Morissette
How about not equating death with stopping?
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 love the universality of music and how it can viscerally connect people from culture to culture, regardless of anything. It kind of levels everything out and connects us. That universal sound thing is a big deal to me.
Alanis Morissette
Beauty is now defined by your bones sticking out of your decolletage. For that to be the standard is really perilous for women.
Alanis Morissette
I'm lost, but I'm hopeful.
Alanis Morissette
A good man often appears gauche simply because he does not take advantage of the myriad mean little chances of making himself look stylish. Preferring truth to form, he is not constantly at work upon the facade of his appearance.
Alanis Morissette
I started making music because I could.
Alanis Morissette
There's cleanliness to how I eat now. I'm much more in tune with my body, so now that I'm so in tune based on having become a semivegan, I can tell what foods affect energy levels. I can tell when I've been eating particularly high nutrient foods or I can tell when my glycemic levels are all over the place.
Alanis Morissette
I think some fans want everything to stay they same because they want to stay the same.
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'm about 90 percent vegan. I think veganism is really well suited for training, at least for me anyway.
Alanis Morissette
It's not just the 'Grammys' that I've pulled out of. I also pulled out of the English awards as well. The reason that I wanted to pull out was because I believe very much that the music industry as a whole is mainly concerned with material success.
Alanis Morissette
I'm doing it because I choose it. And if it's not working, I can make a change.
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.
