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.

More quotes by Alanis Morissette
I love songs that are very autobiographical.
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
I think when someone blindly projects and it's showing up in the form of envy or hate - and I actually think they're synonymous - that's when I feel the most afraid and disconnected and vulnerable. Like whenever I don't feel safe in my own hands, in terms of my not being tender or merciful with myself, or when we're treating each other that way.
Alanis Morissette
I'll write records until I'm dead. And then maybe even after that!
Alanis Morissette
I believe we've been given free will, and we can take responsibility for our own lives and for creating our own environments - which I think at times can be a little much for people to deal with.
Alanis Morissette
I want to walk through life instead of being dragged through it.
Alanis Morissette
How about not equating death with stopping?
Alanis Morissette
I was born in '74, so I missed out on all the great early '60s and early '70s.
Alanis Morissette
Who I am inside determines how I feel about my body instead of the other way around
Alanis Morissette
When I was younger, I was terrified to express anger because it would often kick-start a horrible reaction in the men in my life. So I bit my tongue. I was left to painstakingly deal with the aftermath of my avoidance later in life, in therapy or through the lyrics of my songs.
Alanis Morissette
You are a worksmith and who cares for his brothers, whos not seduced by illusions or fair weather friends.
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
I make up new lyrics to well-known lullabies. Mostly because I don't actually know a lot of the lyrics.
Alanis Morissette
Partnership is the way. Dictatorial win-lose is so old-school.
Alanis Morissette
I think it's child abuse to have someone in the public eye too young. Society basically values wealth and fame and power at the cost of well-being. In the case of a child, it's at the cost of someone's natural development. It's already hard enough to develop.
Alanis Morissette
We eat when we're full, and we hoard all the rest. With our hands on remotes, we say, yes, we're the best.
Alanis Morissette
We're taught to be ashamed of confusion, anger, fear and sadness, and to me they're of equal value to happiness, excitement and inspiration.
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
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
Anything I do has to be directly related to my music. If it isn't, I don't really see a point to it.
