Society, magazines, posters, music videos, investment bankers. A lot of times, in my past anyway, looking within wasn't overly encouraged. Pretty much everybody proclaimed that fame would give me power and fortune.

For four to six months at a time, I would barely eat. I lived on a diet of Melba toast, carrots, and black coffee.
Alanis Morissette
I'm clearly most well known for my music. Eventually, ultimately, I'll be writing books. I'm still writing articles now. I just consider myself a writer.
Alanis Morissette
But once I acclimated and really used fame for what it was offering me as a tool to serve my life purpose of inspiring and contributing, then it started to get fun again.
Alanis Morissette
Making a movie requires 20 to 500 people to make and a lot of money and the stakes are a lot higher.
Alanis Morissette
I have as much rage as you have, I have as much pain as you do, I've lived as much hell as you have, and I've kept mine bubbling under for you.
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
It's a joke to think that anyone is one thing. We're all such complex creatures. But if I'm going to be a poster child for anything, anger's a gorgeous emotion. It gets a bad rap, but it can make great changes happen.
Alanis Morissette
I think some people think I'm a smarty-pants. Some people think I'm intense, some people think I'm super-esoteric and nuts.
Alanis Morissette
When I'm in pain and grief and despair, my throat is clenched and my heart hurts.
Alanis Morissette
I'll write records until I'm dead. And then maybe even after that!
Alanis Morissette
I see my body as an instrument, rather than an ornament.
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
I'll be writing songs till I die. There's just no question.
Alanis Morissette
I was motivated by just thinking that if you had all this external success that everyone would love you and everything would be peaceful and wonderful.
Alanis Morissette
My yearn for home is broadened Patriotism expanded By callings from beyond So I pack my things Nothing precious All things sacred
Alanis Morissette
I was always such a people-watcher. I would sit on street corners alone and watch people and make up stories about them in my head. Then, all of a sudden, I was the one being watched.
Alanis Morissette
The thing I always default to is that I'll always be here to write songs.
Alanis Morissette
Oh these little rejections how they add up quickly, one small sideways look and I feel so ungood. Somewhere along the way I think I gave you the power to make me feel the way I thought only my father could.
Alanis Morissette
I understand that people are afraid. Because I think censorship is about fear. It's just fear being projected onto art.
Alanis Morissette
I remember how beautiful it was to fall asleep on your couch and cry in front of you for the first time. You were the best platform from which to jump beyond myself. What was wrong with me?
Alanis Morissette
