Whats that line from TS Eliot? To arrive at the place where you started, but to know it for the first time. Im able to write about a breakup from a different place. Same brokenness. Same rock-bottom. But a little more informed, now Im older. Thank God for growing up. – Alanis Morissette
I wish people could acheive what they think would bring them happiness in order for them to realize that thats not really what happiness is. – Alanis Morissette
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. – 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
