More quotes by 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 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
Your choice of armor was your intellect.
Alanis Morissette
First I was 'angry,' then 'spiritual.' Now I don't know what I am.
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 see my body as an instrument, rather than an ornament.
Alanis Morissette
When someone has a very urgent response, I think it just means that it's triggering something in them that they may not necessarily want to think or talk about - which I see as a positive thing.
Alanis Morissette
What I try to keep in mind is that there are going to be a lot of articles that are going to be misrepresentative of what I'm about as a person and as a writer.
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 saw music as a way to entertain people and take them away from their daily lives and put smiles on their faces, as opposed to what I see it being now, which is a way for me to actually communicate, and a way for me to tap into my subconscious.
Alanis Morissette
Life has a funny way of helping you out when you think that everything's gone wrong.
Alanis Morissette
I didn't have high self-esteem when I was a teen-ager, as I think most teen-agers don't.
Alanis Morissette
And if I had a preference, it would be to be able to not be in the studio until 4 in the morning.
Alanis Morissette
I'm about 90 percent vegan. I think veganism is really well suited for training, at least for me anyway.
Alanis Morissette
Long hair is a security blanket for me. I cut it short a few years ago and I really never want to do that again. When I do cut it, I cut it myself.
Alanis Morissette
Being a sensitive empath is a beautiful thing as an artist, and it fosters a deep burning curiosity about why we do the things we do.
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
What I wouldn't give to find a soul mate, someone else to catch this drift.
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
I'll keep evolving and put that into my songs.
Alanis Morissette
