Im 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! Its not so patriarchal these days – theres more love and a lot less hate! – Alanis Morissette
I was motivated by just thinking that if you had all this external success that everyone would love you and everything would be peaceful and wonderful. – Alanis Morissette
I have a profound empathy for people who are in the public eye, whether they manifest it themselves or whether it happened by accident – it doesnt matter to me. I think theres a great misunderstanding of what it is to be famous. – Alanis Morissette
What influenced me was Tori Amos, who was unapologetic about expressing anger through music, and Sinead OConnor. Those two in particular were really moving for me, and very inspiring, before I wrote Jagged Little Pill. – Alanis Morissette
