More quotes by Alanis Morissette
I started making music because I could.
Alanis Morissette
Europe seems a little softer, but in America it's harsh. In L.A., where I live, it's all about perfectionism.
Alanis Morissette
Who I am inside determines how I feel about my body instead of the other way around
Alanis Morissette
I was born in '74, so I missed out on all the great early '60s and early '70s.
Alanis Morissette
But I love to entertain. My vocation is to accrue all these experiences, to write about them, to get them out of my system, to not get sick, and then to share them publicly.
Alanis Morissette
Writing the record for me - every record is almost a surprise. When people ask me, what are the themes you want to grapple with on this one? I have no idea until the record's finished.
Alanis Morissette
I was always such a people-watcher. I would sit on street corners alone and watch people and make up stories about them in my head. Then, all of a sudden, I was the one being watched.
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
To lie to yourself, and thereby to everyone else.
Alanis Morissette
These precious illusions in my head did not let me down when I was defenseless, and parting with them is like parting with invisible best friends.
Alanis Morissette
I find as an artist if I'm not expressed relatively consistently, I get really depressed.
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 make up new lyrics to well-known lullabies. Mostly because I don't actually know a lot of the lyrics.
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 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
If I have taken part in anything perceived as the fame machine, it's been my choice. My motivations certainly have been different from some people's that I've worked with. But it's okay to work equally passionately for two different reasons.
Alanis Morissette
When I'm off the road, my husband and I recharge our batteries. It's a day of deep rest and connection with the spiritual, and that can be anything - going for a walk in nature, being in silence, burning incense.
Alanis Morissette
I see the whole concept of Generation X implies that everyone has lost hope.
Alanis Morissette
I breastfeed and I'll be breastfeeding until my son is finished and he weans.
Alanis Morissette
When I start writing songs and it turns into an overly belabored intellectual process, I just throw it out.
