Image
I just feel compelled to continue to be transparent. It just really levels the playing field and eradicates the shame that I have, or that one might have, about being human. So I'm going to just keep going.
Alanis Morissette
Image
When we think of digitally disconnecting and inviting presence into our lives, we are creating the conditions of integration within and between.
Alanis Morissette

Image
I'm sad, but I'm laughing.

Image
I need to be performing. I need to be acting. I need to be designing a condo and ripping down walls and buying new plates and looking at fashion magazines. There always has to be some movement in the artistic department for me to not get really, really low.

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

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.

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.

Image
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
Image
I'm sorry to myself, for treating me worse than I would anybody else.
Alanis Morissette
Image
Being a sensitive empath is a beautiful thing as an artist, and it fosters a deep burning curiosity about why we do the things we do.
Alanis Morissette
Image
When I pray, I'm just talking to what some people might call our higher selves: God, myself, my intuition, my heart. Whatever that is, that's where I go.
Alanis Morissette
Image
They're different kinds of challenges depending upon what phase of life I'm in.
Alanis Morissette
Image
Looking for approval or blaming others or feeling like a victim. Whenever I feel myself doing that I try to stop and see myself as someone who's a creator in more ways than just what the word typically means.

America's a very traumatized society.
Alanis Morissette
Image
I think God is in us. I think we manifest God in every moment.

Image
I love songs that are very autobiographical.
Alanis Morissette
Image
Breakups are a horrible thing for almost everybody I know. For someone who is a love addict, it's debilitating.

Image
I remember how beautiful it was to fall asleep on your couch and cry in front of you for the first time. You were the best platform from which to jump beyond myself. What was wrong with me?
