With songwriting I spend a lot of time living life, accruing all these experiences, journaling, and then by the time I get to the studio I'm teeming with the drive to write.

Alanis MorissetteMy greatest environments in which I can grow, or grow up, is in personal romantic relationships with a man.
Alanis MorissetteThe more vulnerable and the more confused the song is, the equal and opposite effect is how I feel after having written it.
Alanis MorissetteI really do see that anywhere I am, whether it's doing interviews a hundred in a row, that every situation I'm in, I'm at choice in the matter.
Alanis MorissetteWhat makes me feel alive is community, connectedness. Certainly family, parenting, relationships, friendship. All the way into colleague relationships and relationship with spirit, relationship with one's own self and inner child, and animals, earth, planet. Fostering and nurturing and really focusing on connection - connection in relationship with other and my own self and God. When I don't feel connected in all those three areas, life is not very good.
