Here are some of my favorite Alanis quotes, which i use all the time:
"Maybe this year was a year for women to have been more public"
"I just somehow wish that shows like this could be less about competition
and more about the acknowledgement and acceptance in celebration of our
artistic differences, so maybe someday it will. Thanks a lot"
"Canadians are really good listeners, and sometimes I struggle with that with Americans. The cultural difference cannot be underestimated."
"It's irrelevant waht my favorite ice cream is!"
"I don't think as many people will be in the audience when I'm eighty years old, (probably not)but yeah, I'll do it 'til I go to my grave"
"If your foundation is not there, and you're thrown into this crazy whirlwind, your fucked"
"To me, anger is a cowardly expression of pain"
"I think people dip their toes into the pool and it's cold, so they just run away, as opposed to
diving in and realizing it really feels great."
"I love Canadians, I am Canadian. I think the more places I go, the more different cultures I see,
the more I love coming back here. So the whole idea of someone not being happy for someone else's success is not a new concept to me,
and beyond that, understandably, the last thing Canadians saw of me was when I was seventeen years old and then four years later they hear this,
and for them, that must've felt like five minutes.And I understand how different it can seem, but no one was walking aongside me for those four
years, seeing what I saw and leaning what I learned. So those that have the incentive and curiosity to find out what happened in the past 4 years for me, they'll have those questions answered through the music and through me."
"I'm a harcore camper"
"I love LA....it tests your character and it tests you as a person, and ifyou can get through all that and still have your foundation together, you, you hold yourself with more conviction because it's been tested so often"
