I see the whole concept of Generation X implies that everyone has lost hope.

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.

I guess what people forget sometimes is that when I write songs, I write them sometimes in about 20 minutes.

What I try to keep in mind is that there are going to be a lot of articles that are going to be misrepresentative of what I'm about as a person and as a writer.

From Alanis Morissette

You live, you learn.

From Alanis Morissette

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.

From Alanis Morissette

Then I realized that secrecy is actually to the detriment of my own peace of mind and self, and that I could still sustain my belief in privacy and be authentic and transparent at the same time. It was a pretty revelatory moment, and there's been a liberating force that's come from it.

From Alanis Morissette

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.

From Alanis Morissette

With songwriting I spend a lot of time living life, accruing all these experiences, journaling, and then by the time I get to the studio I'm teeming with the drive to write.

From Alanis Morissette

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.
