When someone says that Im angry its actually a compliment. I have not always been direct with my anger in my relationships, which is part of why Id write about it in my songs because I had such fear around expressing anger as a woman. – Alanis Morissette
I see the whole concept of Generation X implies that everyone has lost hope. – Alanis Morissette
When I was younger, I was terrified to express anger because it would often kick-start a horrible reaction in the men in my life. So I bit my tongue. I was left to painstakingly deal with the aftermath of my avoidance later in life, in therapy or through the lyrics of my songs. – Alanis Morissette
In my opinion, I think sarcasm and humor in a song, without turning it into a novelty song, is really charming. – Alanis Morissette
