I hope that there is a very confused 14 year old girl out there who hears me speak or hears me sing and derives some sort of strength from that I heard that when I was 14 that's exactly what happened.

More quotes by Alanis Morissette
A brave action is often followed by grief. Do not let my resistance to grief stop the brave action.
Alanis Morissette
My brother says that I was writing songs about fate while he was off playing soccer. Now I tell him he's 33 and being a professional while I'm playing soccer with my friends. Ha!
Alanis Morissette
I was extremely moved by the plight of Tsunami victims and I was inspired to try to make a difference.
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
Peace of mind for five minutes, that's what I crave.
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 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.
Alanis Morissette
Down the road, I'll probably have a kid or two or three. And there will probably be political events or spiritual things to comment on, and humor.
Alanis Morissette
I think God is in us. I think we manifest God in every moment.
Alanis Morissette
I'm clearly most well known for my music. Eventually, ultimately, I'll be writing books. I'm still writing articles now. I just consider myself a writer.
Alanis Morissette
What part of our history's reinvented and under rug swept? What part of your memory is selective and tends to forget?
Alanis Morissette
Ageism works in both directions. As a teenager in the public eye, people would talk condescendingly to me. When you get older there's this feeling that you have to start carving up your face and body. Right now I'm in the middle ground - I think women in their thirties are taken seriously.
Alanis Morissette
Canada has a passive-aggressive culture, with a lot of sarcasm and righteousness. That went with my weird messianic complex. The ego is a fascinating monster. 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
Life has a funny way of helping you out when you think that everything's gone wrong.
Alanis Morissette
I breastfeed and I'll be breastfeeding until my son is finished and he weans.
Alanis Morissette
I'm quite obsessed with the idea of nailing the girl friendship. It's such an art, so delicate.
Alanis Morissette
When we think of digitally disconnecting and inviting presence into our lives, we are creating the conditions of integration within and between.
Alanis Morissette
In one breath, I can say that we are God, but in another I have to say that we aren't deities.
Alanis Morissette
To me the biggest irony of this lifetime that I'm living is that for someone who thrives in the public eye in the creative ways that I do, I actually don't enjoy being in the public eye.
Alanis Morissette
I would never judge someone's intrigue with the spoils of fame, because I went through that.
