Alanis Morissette Quotes, Song Quotes, Anger Quotes

It's very cool for me to be able to get in an airplane and fly for fourteen hours and show up in a place I never thought I'd ever be and have kids in the same room singing these songs I'd written so far away. To me, that's so surreal.

In fact, after Donald Trump won, some of the relief of finishing record was to turn off all the politics for a while.
