More quotes by Alanis Morissette
When I was producing on my own, I was doing it in order to - in a very patriarchal entertainment industry, let alone planet - very much hell-bent on trying to prove to myself, if nothing else, that I could do it as a woman.
Alanis Morissette
I happen to be lucky in that I knew what I wanted to do as far as a career since I was nine years old.
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 sabotage myself for fear of what my bigness could do.
Alanis Morissette
I'm really clear about what my life mission is now. There's no more depression or lethargy, and I feel like I've returned to the athlete I once was. I'm integrating all the parts of me - jock, musician, writer, poet, philosopher - and becoming stronger as a result.
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
There were a lot of people who were a little afraid of the rage or blaming stance I was taking, and find what I am doing now more refreshing.
Alanis Morissette
We're all ants. I'm a glittery little ant.
Alanis Morissette
So many boys, so little time.
Alanis Morissette
I think God is everything. Human beings created the punitive, vengeful deity who considers us to be innate sinners.
Alanis Morissette
To whom do I owe the first apology? No one's been crueler than I've been to me.
Alanis Morissette
I don't believe in bad. I believe in relativity. The only way we can know what we call good is if there's also something we call bad.
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 write records until I'm dead. And then maybe even after that!
Alanis Morissette
What an amazing and sacred place [Israel] to end the tour
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
I'm consumed by the chill of solitary.
Alanis Morissette
As a teen, I was both anorexic and bulimic.
Alanis Morissette
At some point, I would like to write a book and other things, but I work best when there is some sort of deadline in my own mind, but not when fifty people or fifty million people are breathing down the back of my neck.
Alanis Morissette
It's exciting for people to define who they are in relation to what I write - whether it be by loving or hating it.
