More quotes by Alanis Morissette
When I start writing songs and it turns into an overly belabored intellectual process, I just throw it out.
Alanis Morissette
I believe we've been given free will, and we can take responsibility for our own lives and for creating our own environments - which I think at times can be a little much for people to deal with.
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
I'll be writing songs till I die. There's just no question.
Alanis Morissette
In a perfect world, there would be no censorship, because there would be no judgement.
Alanis Morissette
We're taught to be ashamed of confusion, anger, fear and sadness, and to me they're of equal value to happiness, excitement and inspiration.
Alanis Morissette
I'm a liability to them - I'm a woman, I'm empowered, I'm an artist. I've had executives who can't come to my shows they're so scared of me. I've been a thorn in many people's sides just by existing.
Alanis Morissette
I think some fans want everything to stay they same because they want to stay the same.
Alanis Morissette
I'm sad, but I'm laughing.
Alanis Morissette
I salute you for your courage, and I applaud your perseverance, and I embrace you for your faith in the face of adversarial forces.
Alanis Morissette
...and what it all comes down to is that I haven't got it all figured out just yet.
Alanis Morissette
I would not have discredited every one of their compliments. It was your approval I wanted, your congratulations.
Alanis Morissette
I never regret anything I do. It's part of who I am now, and I like who I am now.
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
I think the Bible is hugely patriarchal. There are so many sexist comments and homophobic comments and comments that are not in keeping with nurturing and loving the human spirit.
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
So forgive me, love, if I cry in your shower. So forgive me, love, for the salt in your bed. So forgive me, love, if I cry all afternoon.
Alanis Morissette
Getting married and starting a family has been a lifelong goal and one that I have persevered through different paths up to it!
Alanis Morissette
There's a continuity between what I care about in any form: I care about it in my music, in article-writing, in how I dress, in how I live, in my relationships, in how I navigate paparazzi, how I decorate my home. There's such a continuity between everything that I don't really care what form it shows up in.
Alanis Morissette
I can't not write, if I don't then I get really depressed.
Alanis Morissette
