Quote

When someone has a very urgent response, I think it just means that it's triggering something in them that they may not necessarily want to think or talk about - which I see as a positive thing.

You are a worksmith and who cares for his brothers, whos not seduced by illusions or fair weather friends.

Image
We eat when we're full, and we hoard all the rest. With our hands on remotes, we say, yes, we're the best.
Alanis Morissette
Image
Music helps you find the truths you must bring into the rest of your life.
Alanis Morissette
Image
These precious illusions in my head did not let me down when I was defenseless, and parting with them is like parting with invisible best friends.

Image
I love the universality of music and how it can viscerally connect people from culture to culture, regardless of anything. It kind of levels everything out and connects us. That universal sound thing is a big deal to me.

How long before my dignity is reclaimed?

I still indulge in a glass of wine or chocolate - treats are mandatory. Without deviating from the day-to-day healthy diet once in a while, it wouldn't be sustainable for me, and that's what I wanted: an approach to eating to last my entire life.

A brave action is often followed by grief. Do not let my resistance to grief stop the brave action.

I thought the more famous I became, the more friendships I would have, but the opposite was true.

It's exciting for people to define who they are in relation to what I write - whether it be by loving or hating it.

The people that were invested in me staying the same way after a decade will most likely by default have to be disappointed.
Alanis Morissette
Image
Anything I do has to be directly related to my music. If it isn't, I don't really see a point to it.
Alanis Morissette
Image
I can't not write, if I don't then I get really depressed.

There's cleanliness to how I eat now. I'm much more in tune with my body, so now that I'm so in tune based on having become a semivegan, I can tell what foods affect energy levels. I can tell when I've been eating particularly high nutrient foods or I can tell when my glycemic levels are all over the place.

That I would be loved even when I numb myself. That I would be good even when I am overwhelmed. That I would be loved even when I was fuming. That I would be good even if I was clingy.

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.

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.

Typically I go in the studio and whatever I'm contemplating that day will wind up being a song. I don't come in with lyrics... I just go in and let it happen.

I understand that people are afraid. Because I think censorship is about fear. It's just fear being projected onto art.

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.
