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.

More quotes by Alanis Morissette
And ultimately the people who produce my records, they know that they're here to serve the purpose of me expressing who I am at this period of time and augmenting that or pulling it forward and I love that process.
Alanis Morissette
I firmly believe that the only reason why I'm on this planet, the only reason why I live, breathe, and exist is, that it's my duty to be as honest as possible in my art.
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 happen to be lucky in that I knew what I wanted to do as far as a career since I was nine years old.
Alanis Morissette
I live with some of my best friends from high school, very commune-like, in my house. It's my hippie way of life.
Alanis Morissette
I'm a leave-the-bathroom-door-open nudist, which is sometimes disconcerting for my friends.
Alanis Morissette
I see the whole concept of Generation X implies that everyone has lost hope.
Alanis Morissette
I hear you're losing weight again, Mary Jane. Do you ever wonder who you're losing it for?
Alanis Morissette
To lie to yourself, and thereby to everyone else.
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
At some point, I would like to write a book and other things, but I work best when there is some sort of deadline in my own mind, but not when fifty people or fifty million people are breathing down the back of my neck.
Alanis Morissette
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.'
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
Don't be surprised if I love you for all that you are.
Alanis Morissette
You live, you learn, you love, you learn, you cry, you learn, you lose, you learn, you bleed, you learn, you scream, you learn
Alanis Morissette
The ego is a fascinating monster.
Alanis Morissette
I felt like I was making a record under the radar, and that is my favorite way to do anything.
Alanis Morissette
My brother says that I was writing songs about fate while he was off playing soccer. Now I tell him he's 33 and being a professional while I'm playing soccer with my friends. Ha!
Alanis Morissette
I did commit to myself that I would not jump back into being the workaholic that I can be before I gave myself an honest opportunity to create the marriage of my dreams and to create the beginning of the family of my dreams, and that took a hot second.
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.
