More quotes by Alanis Morissette
Life has a funny way of helping you out when you think that everything's gone wrong.
Alanis Morissette
I listen to my records and I think, 'Wow, these are really great appetizers. I haven't even considered what I'm going to order for the full entree meal yet.'
Alanis Morissette
Some of the most beautiful things that have happened to me in my life have been things that I couldn't explain.
Alanis Morissette
I was motivated by just thinking that if you had all this external success that everyone would love you and everything would be peaceful and wonderful.
Alanis Morissette
I get angry at myself for staying in relationships way too long.
Alanis Morissette
I am a firm believer that one way to become enlightened is to be so relaxed, as relaxed as you possibly can be.
Alanis Morissette
I would not have discredited every one of their compliments. It was your approval I wanted, your congratulations.
Alanis Morissette
I saw music as a way to entertain people and take them away from their daily lives and put smiles on their faces, as opposed to what I see it being now, which is a way for me to actually communicate, and a way for me to tap into my subconscious.
Alanis Morissette
Kale is my best friend. I eat kale salad. I put kale in my smoothies, kale in my soup. Kale, kale, kale! I feel like Popeye. I love it. I definitely need variety or I get super bored, so I have to mix it up with different sauces and tahini or whatever.
Alanis Morissette
In my life, anyway, anytime that I judge something to be rigidly right or wrong, it comes from fear.
Alanis Morissette
I thought the more famous I became, the more friendships I would have, but the opposite was true.
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
Over the last couple of years, I've really worked toward balancing my life out more, having a little bit more time with friends, family and my boyfriend. There was a period of time when they were way down the list. It was all about music and touring and if everything fell by the wayside, so be it.
Alanis Morissette
To whom do I owe the first apology? No one's been crueler than I've been to me.
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
It's when someone has an agenda of their own for the record that it doesn't work for me.
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
Love is thick and it swallows me whole.
Alanis Morissette
I've been doing a lot of different cross-training and kickboxing and Capoeira and kite surfing, and I've just really been back to what I consider my original athletic self.
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.
