More quotes by Alanis Morissette
It's when someone has an agenda of their own for the record that it doesn't work for me.
Alanis Morissette
There's a continuity between what I care about in any form: I care about it in my music, in article-writing, in how I dress, in how I live, in my relationships, in how I navigate paparazzi, how I decorate my home. There's such a continuity between everything that I don't really care what form it shows up in.
Alanis Morissette
I'm a leave-the-bathroom-door-open nudist, which is sometimes disconcerting for my friends.
Alanis Morissette
I would never judge someone's intrigue with the spoils of fame, because I went through that.
Alanis Morissette
I am what I am Are you what you are or What?
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 sabotage myself for fear of what my bigness could do.
Alanis Morissette
I found that the more truthful and vulnerable I was, the more empowering it was for me.
Alanis Morissette
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.
Alanis Morissette
To whom do I owe the first apology? No one's been crueler than I've been to me.
Alanis Morissette
There is consequence of our forgetting who we are. Forgetting that we're able to create our environment, from our health to economy to war. Something can be done about everything we perceive as bad, if we so choose. If we are aware of the concept of compassion.
Alanis Morissette
Anytime there's separatism going on. It happens all the time, because the illusion before us is that we are separate. It gives us this sense of egoic identity, which is lovely in its own way.
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
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.
Alanis Morissette
I still indulge in a glass of wine or chocolate - treats are mandatory. Without deviating from the day-to-day healthy diet once in a while, it wouldn't be sustainable for me, and that's what I wanted: an approach to eating to last my entire life.
Alanis Morissette
That I would be loved even when I numb myself. That I would be good even when I am overwhelmed. That I would be loved even when I was fuming. That I would be good even if I was clingy.
Alanis Morissette
I'm doing it because I choose it. And if it's not working, I can make a change.
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
When I'm in pain and grief and despair, my throat is clenched and my heart hurts.
Alanis Morissette
I was born in '74, so I missed out on all the great early '60s and early '70s.
