Alanis Morissette
The more I know the less tortured I am.
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
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 can't not write, if I don't then I get really depressed.
Alanis Morissette
Who I am inside determines how I feel about my body instead of the other way around

Alanis Morissette
I didn't have high self-esteem when I was a teen-ager, as I think most teen-agers don't.
Alanis Morissette
A good man often appears gauche simply because he does not take advantage of the myriad mean little chances of making himself look stylish. Preferring truth to form, he is not constantly at work upon the facade of his appearance.
Alanis Morissette
Beauty is now defined by your bones sticking out of your decolletage. For that to be the standard is really perilous for women.
Alanis Morissette
As long as I can say what it is that I need to say, then I'll fit whatever I'm trying to say around a melody.
