I'm saying what a lot of people would want to say but are too embarrassed.

Alanis Morissette
I understand that people are afraid. Because I think censorship is about fear. It's just fear being projected onto art.
Alanis Morissette
I'm about 90 percent vegan. I think veganism is really well suited for training, at least for me anyway.
Alanis Morissette
I thought the more famous I became, the more friendships I would have, but the opposite was true.
Alanis Morissette
A good man often appears gauche simply because he does not take advantage of the myriad mean little chances of making himself look stylish. Preferring truth to form, he is not constantly at work upon the facade of his appearance.
