Alanis Morissette Quotes

Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you When you think everything’s okay and everything’s going right And life has a funny way of helping you out when You think everything’s gone wrong and everything blows up In your face Picture Quote #1

I highly recommend getting older! There’s less tendency to people-please Picture Quote #1

When people ask me who I’d want to have dinner with, dead or alive, I always say, ‘John Lennon.’ I just feel that he was an artist who was, in his own way, committed to wholeness and authenticity in a not dissimilar way that I am years later Picture Quote #1

In a perfect world, there would be no censorship, because there would be no judgement Picture Quote #1

I wish people could achieve what they think would bring them happiness in order for them to realize that that’s not really what happiness is Picture Quote #1

All I can promise myself and everyone else is that this record is a snapshot of thisperiod in my life. It will be that by default Picture Quote #1

When I’m really, really angry, if I’m privileged enough to be next to someone who can hold my anger, I’ll definitely take them up on holding the bucket Picture Quote #1

As a kid, I was listening to Aretha Franklin, Etta James and hip-hop as well as music my parents were listening to, like Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen Picture Quote #1

I understand that people are afraid. Because I think censorship is about fear. It’s just fear being projected onto art Picture Quote #1

I did commit to myself that I would not jump back into being the workaholic that I can be before I gave myself an honest opportunity to create the marriage of my dreams and to create the beginning of the family of my dreams, and that took a hot second Picture Quote #1

Some of the most beautiful things that have happened to me in my life have been things that I couldn’t explain Picture Quote #1

The fear of this delicate and fierce feminine has more to do with our fear of being vulnerable again, getting hurt again, than it does by our actual distaste for the beauty of the feminine and Her qualities Picture Quote #1

In LA, where I live, it’s all about perfectionism. Beauty is now defined by your bones sticking out of your decolletage. For that to be the standard is really perilous for women Picture Quote #1

I think a beautiful quality that’s a biological, hormonal imperative for women, whether they have children or not, is that we’re built to be empathic. For me, it was finally being maternal in an appropriate way instead of trying to mommy ex-boyfriends Picture Quote #1

I have been running so sweaty my whole life Urgent for a finish line And I have been missing the rapture this whole time Of being forever incomplete Picture Quote #1

I’ve always been really opinionated, and mixed with being really open hearted, open to people shifting what I think all the time, but I like to speak with conviction Picture Quote #1

I’m excited about there being more of a sisterhood these days. Back in the 90s there was a lot of hate - the women I looked up to as artists were dissing me! It’s not so patriarchal these days - there’s more love and a lot less hate! Picture Quote #1

The spirituality that I experience sometimes touches on religion, in that I resonate with the thread of continuity that permeates through all religions. But in terms of it being a concretized, organized part of my life, it’s not Picture Quote #1

When pain brings you down, don’t be silly, don’t close your eyes and cry, you just might be in the best position to see the sun shine Picture Quote #1

Part of being famous is offering up this blank screen upon which people can project everything, and it’s a sacred act, putting yourself out there, in a way that lots of celebrities aren’t steeled for; they’re not prepared for the degree to which people define them Picture Quote #1

When we [people] are operating from the belief that we’re not connected, it feels so dangerous and scary and vulnerable and awful Picture Quote #1

I want to poke holes in the erroneous beliefs about what fame provides. It won’t raise your self-esteem, it won’t create profound connection, it’s not going to heal your childhood traumas, it’s only going to amplify them. You’re going to be subject to a lot of criticism and praise, both of which are violent in their own ways Picture Quote #1

I’d rather talk to people about their personal spiritual practices or what they believe love is. I’m born to do that. Could I enter into the political realm and dive into that? Sure, but I don’t think I would want to do that Picture Quote #1

I live with some of my best friends from high school, very commune-like, in my house. It’s my hippie way of life Picture Quote #1

I love to get to the underbelly of why people are up in arms about anything. Really, what I see is a big shadow in the West, in America especially, and everyone’s afraid of looking stupid. But the truth is, I’m a genius and I’m stupid at the same time Picture Quote #1

Looking for approval or blaming others or feeling like a victim. Whenever I feel myself doing that I try to stop and see myself as someone who’s a creator in more ways than just what the word typically means Picture Quote #1

I’ve just always felt it’s an incredibly empowering thing, particularly for young women, to capitalize on their coordination and their strength. It’s a very empowering thing to feel strong in your body Picture Quote #1

I was born in 74, so I missed out on all the great early 60s and early 70s Picture Quote #1

In the face of patriarchy, it is a brave act indeed for both men and women to embrace, rather than shame or attempt to eradicate, the feminine Picture Quote #1
