Alanis Morissette frasi celebri

“Volevo sentire la mia rabbia, i miei sentimenti negativi, volevo esprimerli. La rabbia è catartica, proattiva, ti tira fuori delle cose e delle energie. Invece la depressione non muove proprio un bel niente. Però da sola la rabbia non aiuta a guarire. Nemmeno quando viene espressa attraverso l'arte. Si guarisce solo attraverso le relazioni.”

Alanis Morissette

“I diktat di questo mondo sono molto chiari: devi essere in salute, ricco e rimanere sempre giovane. Non sono previsti altri obiettivi. Ma fama e ricchezza non aiutano a far star bene nessuno. Il mio obiettivo, invece, è condividere altre virtù che per me sono importanti, e continuo a portare la torcia dei rapporti umani, delle relazioni fra persone.”

Alanis Morissette

Origine: Il ritorno della ragazza che ha imparato ad amare, intervista a Sette, 10 agosto 2012.

“La fama ha spesso l'effetto di disconnettere le persone e portarle all'implosione. Pensi che potrai entrare in contatto con tutti invece il successo ti allontana da tutto e tu rimani a fare lo spettatore. Anche io ho avuto qualche tendenza suicida. Mmh, forse ho utilizzato una parola troppo forte, ma avevo la tendenza a voler essere altrove.”

Alanis Morissette

“Sono cresciuta in Nord America e credo che lì la vita per le donne alfa come me sia sempre stata molto dura. Per anni ho cercato di fingermi una femmina beta e mi sono tagliata le braccia, le ali, ma non ha funzionato. Poi ho smesso di fingere di essere diversa da quella che sono e finalmente ho trovato una persona il cui modo di essere si incastrava perfettamente con il mio.”

So Pure
Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie (1998)

“I'd speak of artistry you would roll your eyes skyward
When I'd speak of spirituality you would label it absurd
When I spoke of possibility you would frown and shake your head
If I had stayed much longer, I'd have surely imploded”

Can't Not
Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie (1998)

“I want you to know, that I am happy for you
I wish nothing but the best for you both
An older version of me,
Is she perverted like me?
Would she go down on you in a theatre?”

You Oughta Know
Jagged Little Pill (1995)

“For a long time, I didn't understand the idea of not being able to appeal to a human heart. And then Marianne Williamson (if I can dare drop her name)… we were doing a Q&A on stage, and there was a question about evil, and my quick, sort of spiritual response was (and I actually stand by it in some senses)… was that human beings are… maybe we're traumatised, maybe we're disconnected, and our behavior, ideally, would be separate from the truth of who we essentially are.”

They never went blind for what they did, but I may as well have.
In the name of the Father, the Skeptic and the Son,

Feast on Scraps (2002)

“There's an obvious attraction
To the path of least resistance in your life
Well there's an obvious aversion no amount of my insistence
Could make you try tonight

'Cause it's easy not to
So much easier not to
And what goes around never comes around to you
To you, to you, to you, to you, to you.”

“When [Jagged Little Pill] came out, I feel like I immediately went into survival mode to keep the 'overwhelm' that comes from being famous at bay. Ten years later, I have the luxury of time and distance to formally honor it.”

“I am the funniest woman that you've ever known.
I am the dullest woman that you've ever known.

Who is as everything as I am sometimes.”

The Couch
Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie (1998)

“There's a lyric in the middle of the song that says, "I want to decide between survival and bliss." Basically I'm talking about the difference between really being alive and really embracing the reason why I'm here on this earth versus my just being asleep and sleep walking and accepting the status quo and accepting somewhat of a suffering mentality to being here. It really is my responsibility to distinguish the difference between the two and choose which one I want. It's so easy for me to want to not take responsibility for my life and relinquish it and look outside of myself for the answers that I know very well are within me. It's so scary to be silent and it's so scary to go within, until I do it. And once I'm doing it, I just wonder why I wasn't doing this all the time. So that decision to be fully alive is one that is preceded by some pretty intense decisions and some choices and responsibility-taking that at times can be very intimidating, again, before I do it.”
