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.'

More quotes by Alanis Morissette
Music will always be a part of my life. I love music and I don't care how many units I sell.
Alanis Morissette
I was taught from a young age that I had to serve, so that turned into me thinking I had to save the planet.
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
I started making music because I could.
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'm a liability to them - I'm a woman, I'm empowered, I'm an artist. I've had executives who can't come to my shows they're so scared of me. I've been a thorn in many people's sides just by existing.
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
Running has made being depressed impossible. If I'm going through something emotional and just go outside for a run, you can rest assured I'll come back with clarity.
Alanis Morissette
I was extremely moved by the plight of Tsunami victims and I was inspired to try to make a difference.
Alanis Morissette
We'll love you just the way you are if you're perfect.
Alanis Morissette
Writing a song doesn't heal things. Even if the song comes up with a solution, it's still only a theory. Going out and living my lyrics is a whole other deal. That takes courage.
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
Anything I do has to be directly related to my music. If it isn't, I don't really see a point to it.
Alanis Morissette
The more vulnerable and the more confused the song is, the equal and opposite effect is how I feel after having written it.
Alanis Morissette
If someone hates or loves something, then right on. I can't rob them of that. I'm not going to try and change their mind. Something's been triggered in them to react so emotionally.
Alanis Morissette
Why are you so petrified of silence, here can you handle this? Did you think about your bills, your ex, your deadlines or when you think you're gonna die? Or did you long for the next distraction.
Alanis Morissette
There were a lot of people who were a little afraid of the rage or blaming stance I was taking, and find what I am doing now more refreshing.
Alanis Morissette
I highly recommend getting older! There's less tendency to people-please.
Alanis Morissette
Music helps you find the truths you must bring into the rest of your life.
Alanis Morissette
I find as an artist if I'm not expressed relatively consistently, I get really depressed.
Alanis Morissette
