More quotes by 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
Stay and respond and expand and include and allow and forgive and enjoy and evolve and discern and inquire and accept and admit and divulge and open and reach out and speak up, this is utopia.
Alanis Morissette
When pain brings you down, don't be silly, don't close your eyes and cry, you just might be in the best position to see the sun shine.
Alanis Morissette
Long hair is a security blanket for me. I cut it short a few years ago and I really never want to do that again. When I do cut it, I cut it myself.
Alanis Morissette
I would never judge someone's intrigue with the spoils of fame, because I went through that.
Alanis Morissette
Writing the record for me - every record is almost a surprise. When people ask me, what are the themes you want to grapple with on this one? I have no idea until the record's finished.
Alanis Morissette
I have a profound empathy for people who are in the public eye, whether they manifest it themselves or whether it happened by accident - it doesn't matter to me. I think there's a great misunderstanding of what it is to be famous.
Alanis Morissette
I sabotage myself for fear of what my bigness could do.
Alanis Morissette
It's not just the 'Grammys' that I've pulled out of. I also pulled out of the English awards as well. The reason that I wanted to pull out was because I believe very much that the music industry as a whole is mainly concerned with material success.
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 firmly believe that the only reason why I'm on this planet, the only reason why I live, breathe, and exist is, that it's my duty to be as honest as possible in my art.
Alanis Morissette
All I can promise myself and everyone else is that this record is a snapshot of thisperiod in my life. It will be that by default.
Alanis Morissette
You are a worksmith and who cares for his brothers, whos not seduced by illusions or fair weather friends.
Alanis Morissette
I live with some of my best friends from high school, very commune-like, in my house. It's my hippie way of life.
Alanis Morissette
When I start writing songs and it turns into an overly belabored intellectual process, I just throw it out.
Alanis Morissette
I see the whole concept of Generation X implies that everyone has lost hope.
Alanis Morissette
My parents offered me the idea of ceilinglessness. There was no limit in terms of what was possible no messages sent to me to say that I couldn't do anything.
Alanis Morissette
Well, as a kid I did not get Shakespeare. I just never understood it.
Alanis Morissette
What's that line from TS Eliot? To arrive at the place where you started, but to know it for the first time. I'm able to write about a breakup from a different place. Same brokenness. Same rock-bottom. But a little more informed, now I'm older. Thank God for growing up.
Alanis Morissette
I'll keep evolving and put that into my songs.
