Alanis Morissette Way Quotations

I get angry at myself for staying in relationships way too long.

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.

The people that were invested in me staying the same way after a decade will most likely by default have to be disappointed.

Partnership is the way. Dictatorial win-lose is so old-school.

I am a firm believer that one way to become enlightened is to be so relaxed, as relaxed as you possibly can be.

I felt like I was making a record under the radar, and that is my favorite way to do anything.

Who I am inside determines how I feel about my body instead of the other way around

Most of the songs are, in a roundabout way, actually addressed to myself, there's a certain aspect of the songs that's very confessional, very unadulterated...It was a very unfettered, spiritual experience.

Life has a funny way of helping you out when you think that everything's gone wrong.

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.

I started writting songs when I was really little because there were things I could say through songs that I couldn't verbalize any other way. Writting was something I had to do.

To me the biggest irony of this lifetime that I'm living is that for someone who thrives in the public eye in the creative ways that I do, I actually don't enjoy being in the public eye.
