In my life, anyway, anytime that I judge something to be rigidly right or wrong, it comes from fear.

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.

I think quite spiritually of myself. I feel like I'm here to support the human evolution.
Alanis Morissette
Image
Anything I do has to be directly related to my music. If it isn't, I don't really see a point to it.
Alanis Morissette
Image
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.

I want to walk through life.

Stay and respond and expand and include and allow and forgive and enjoy and evolve and discern and inquire and accept and admit and divulge and open and reach out and speak up, this is utopia.

I think it's irresponsible when celebrities imply they're doing it all themselves. My son has aunties and uncles around all the time, and my husband is my hero. He's really full-on. I couldn't do it any other way.

Writing a song doesn't heal things. Even if the song comes up with a solution, it's still only a theory. Going out and living my lyrics is a whole other deal. That takes courage.

Image
Music will always be a part of my life. I love music and I don't care how many units I sell.
Alanis Morissette
Image
Partnership is the way. Dictatorial win-lose is so old-school.
Alanis Morissette

The thing I always default to is that I'll always be here to write songs.

Image
I didn't have high self-esteem when I was a teen-ager, as I think most teen-agers don't.

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.'

I do feel blessed to be in the public eye so I can share what I believe. But I think it would be extremely disappointing if I were to count on it to provide happiness. I've come to realize that any time I do that, the fulfillment is short-lived at best.

Down the road, I'll probably have a kid or two or three. And there will probably be political events or spiritual things to comment on, and humor.

My parents offered me the idea of ceilinglessness. There was no limit in terms of what was possible no messages sent to me to say that I couldn't do anything.

Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you When you think everything's okay and everything's going right And life has a funny way of helping you out when You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up In your face

I have a profound empathy for people who are in the public eye, whether they manifest it themselves or whether it happened by accident - it doesn't matter to me. I think there's a great misunderstanding of what it is to be famous.
