Alanis Morissette Quotes:
  • “I started dancing when I was 7, and playing piano when I was 6, and writing songs when I was 9 and I had a record out when I was 10. I was on a television show between the ages of 10 and 12 and I put a record out both when I was 16 and 17, in Canada. Then I moved to California and released "Jagged Little Pill" and wrote it when I was 19 and 20. Then I wrote "Supposed (Former Infatuation Junkie)" three years later. I just finished "Under Rug Swept" about a year ago. And that's the musical and entertainment history”.
  • "I'll write records until I'm dead. And then maybe even after that!"
  • "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."
  • "The whole celebrity thing is not something I'm overly interested in. I don't pop up at parties. It's just not my thing."
  • "We're taught to be ashamed of confusion, anger, fear and sadness, and to me they're of equal value as happiness, excitement and inspiration."
  • "Peace of mind for five minutes, that's what I crave."
  • "I want to walk through life instead of being dragged through it."
