Ageism works in both directions. As a teenager in the public eye, people would talk condescendingly to me. When you get older theres this feeling that you have to start carving up your face and body. Right now Im in the middle ground – I think women in their thirties are taken seriously. – Alanis Morissette
I think its child abuse to have someone in the public eye too young. Society basically values wealth and fame and power at the cost of well-being. In the case of a child, its at the cost of someones natural development. Its already hard enough to develop. – Alanis Morissette
