Alanis Morissette
They're different kinds of challenges depending upon what phase of life I'm in.
Alanis Morissette
I am what I am Are you what you are or What?
Alanis Morissette
Ageism works in both directions. As a teenager in the public eye, people would talk condescendingly to me. When you get older there's this feeling that you have to start carving up your face and body. Right now I'm in the middle ground - I think women in their thirties are taken seriously.
Alanis Morissette
I hear you're losing weight again, Mary Jane. Do you ever wonder who you're losing it for?
Alanis Morissette
My own approach has always been to push intense emotions down and attempt to deal with them later.
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 found that the more truthful and vulnerable I was, the more empowering it was for me.
Alanis Morissette

Alanis Morissette
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
I guess what people forget sometimes is that when I write songs, I write them sometimes in about 20 minutes.
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
I salute you for your courage, and I applaud your perseverance, and I embrace you for your faith in the face of adversarial forces.
Alanis Morissette
I just feel compelled to continue to be transparent. It just really levels the playing field and eradicates the shame that I have, or that one might have, about being human. So I'm going to just keep going.
Alanis Morissette
I see the whole concept of Generation X implies that everyone has lost hope.
Alanis Morissette
It's exciting for people to define who they are in relation to what I write - whether it be by loving or hating it.
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 started making music because I could.
Alanis Morissette
The person who knows HOW will always have a job. The person who knows WHY will always be his boss.
Alanis Morissette
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.
