Alanis Morissette on Jagged Little Pill, Unschooling Her Kids & New Remixed Album

[@DidrickNamtvedt]

I've always considered myself fluent in English but it feels like everytime I hear an Alanis Morissette song or watch an interview of her, I am learning new words I didn't even know existed. She is more well spoken than most celebrities and singers and that's really saying something.

[@addysaw]

Exactly! I took note of two words during this interview (such as convivial). She has such a rich vocabulary and her words flow smoothly and eloquently.

[@Loknath009]

Maybe is due to the ton of books she might habe read?

[@OutAllDay]

Agreed. I had to look those two words up. Lol

[@ohimbigtime]

It's because she's Canadian.

[@rushiaskinnerwallace6175]

Hahaha, Didrick! That’s as hilarious as it is relatable. I also find myself taking notes of materials, theories, books or concepts she references in her interviews.

[@leehenderson992]

This woman is a Canadian treasure. 🍁 A fiercely talented artist.

An Ottawa girl, just like me!!! I met her when I was 14 and she must have been 16 years old. She was a big pop star in Ottawa back then. She was signing autographs in a shopping mall. Lol. I still have the tape she signed for me!!!

[@jashley777]

Ottawa girl here too, I grew up with her from a very young age in elementary school. Isn't it so nice to see how far she's gone? So proud of her!!

[@biancastar6708]

@@jashley777 Hi Jennifer. You know, I admire Alanis more now than I think I ever have. She's bloody brilliant and down to earth. I got her autograph at Carlingwood Mall. Lol

[@neutrino78x]

Just remember if she ever says "I don't know" take a few steps back so as not to get slime on you! And remind her to say "water" afterward ;-) I loved You Can't Do That on Television, I used to watch that show OBSESSIVELY. (I love Alanis I wouldn't want her to get slimed I was joking! But she was on YCDTOT) Ready! Aim! Wait wait stop the execution! ((alastair ducks under cover)) Alastair: officer, what happens when you drop a lit match into a bin of gasoline? Officer: it catches fire ((firing squad fires, killing the officer)) lmao :)

[@marcwampach4097]

Alanis smiles a whole lot: Looks like she's genuinely happy. Super.

[@fs5775]

she seems very comfortable her own skin now

As an English teacher, I believe her methodology on educating her children is 100% correct.

[@jalexrosh]

Alanis and her songs touched my youth, its made me who I am today. Thank you for the music, it's been more than music, it's touched my heart and soul.

[@tsumichama]

You can tell how she is doing better now than she was around the time Jagged Little Pills came out. Her energy now is so much more radiating. Shows that time can heal, if not completely, at least partially (sometimes it doesn't, but it still means something that it *can* )

[@avrillukfan2043]

She is a beautiful person inside and out. I could listen to her talk all day. She has so much to say and so much to give.

As a 90s kid listening to all her music and loving it. I always thought of her as such a strong woman. She is amazing and one of the reasons I wanted some one strong like her in my life.

[@buildanadventure]

I have loved her since 1996. What a goddess.

[@dioarya6275]

Build An Adventure LOL She also did one in Dogma, my favorite Kevin Smith old school stuff

[@katharinewippel9828]

She’s accomplished so much and yet, there are so many comments on how she looks. 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@Tessmage_Tessera]

Nothing wrong with giving a woman a compliment on her appearance.

[@kellyccc]

I honestly would not have recognized her if they didn't say who she was. She's always had a very iconic look and I don't think it's rude to discuss the change. Especially since only those of us who love her music would probably be the ones to comment just because we're so familiar with her.

[@mariodriessen9740]

@Kelly Cote ; That was basically my first thought when I saw this interview. To be fair, I don't think I've seen much of her since '98 or '99, although I do recall having seen her a couple of years back when she was doing another interview. No wait, that wasn't even that long ago. I remember now. She sang a song on a daily and very popular Dutch television program. I loved it! It was another Alanis (musically I mean), but absolutely great and absolutely her. Yes, she changed (duh, she was 20 years older than when I last saw her), but it was undeniably Alanis Morissette. But after this video I almost felt a little alienated. She's still beautiful. And if she wouldn't still be beautiful I wouldn't care. I love her because of her music. But I thought the exact same thing that you wrote. If she would have passed me by yesterday, in the middle of the sidewalk and we would have made eye contact, I don't think I would've recognized her for a moment. I was fascinated when I saw this video. I just can’t figure out what it is why I can’t recognize her this way. Could it be her hair? That would be silly. What is it?!?! I know this is totally irrelevant and I don’t even understand why I even bother to react on this. This is not something I do a lot. Maybe it fascinates me because I changed so much in such a short period of time that people who have been really close to me just didn’t recognize me at all when I’d meet them. People who were glad to see mee only two years earlier. It was actually quite painful. I’m literally stunned. Well, maybe I’m exaggerating a little. No I’m not. Sorry. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@clockworkNate]

Its been a long time and she still looks amazing, people are catching on to the existence of a celebrity fountain of youth!!!

[@naturallyapril333]

I think she looks amazing... I'm confused?

[@elizabethschubert7803]

Her last decade of output has done nothing for me but I will always love this woman for her natural radiant charm and ever-so-slightly annoying yet endearing overuse of ten dollar words to signify emotional intelligence. She really gave us a great one with JLP and some magical gems thereafter but as a human being, she’s definitely a good soul.

[@thelaughtermechanic]

I loved Alannis before this interview, but now I’m just over the moon SMITTEN! She’s drop dead gorgeous and so articulate even 25 years later. Her smile and voice and personality are just incredible!

Unschooling is awesome and obvious based on scope of her library the kids will be amazing.

[@a.taylor8294]

So would unschooling be a good idea for stupid parents who don't spend much time at home with their children?

[@cherylcarlson3315]

@@a.taylor8294 yes, I think most of the stupid I have met can be remediated by revisiting subjects away from bad schools. Teaching a kid is the greatest motivation to learn something. Most public schooled people have a very low reading level

[@cherylcarlson3315]

@@a.taylor8294 in pandemic parents are having to spend time with kids. Most"stupid" people are low literacy, public schooled. Unschooling is not doing nothing but child led which also gives parents chance to remediate. I encouraged NICU parents to read baby books to infants knowing baby benefits from voice and parent barely read. By discharge one mom was reading steamy romances another wrote full sentences expressively in baby book.4 yrs of reading level improvement in about 70 days. My kids were read to from birth,read on their own at 4, were interested in music by 6, interested in foreign language by 8. One is great at math in his head, dd isn't but is great at art. Both are highly adaptive, accepting of error, persistent in asking questions. I had days I could spend little time with them but found public schools waste a huge amount of time so my "short" days actually we're more instructive, productive, interactive than school. Most important thing for anyone is to learn how to question, research,try..at any age

[@a.taylor8294]

@@cherylcarlson3315, the benefits you've noted still require parents who have the time and ability to teach their children. There are many working class parents who simply can't do that adequately . Say, "essential workers" who get paid crappily like grocery store staff and thus must work more than 40 hours, still outside the home. Or what about children who are first-generation Americans and have parents who don't speak English? Homeschooling is not a blanket solution for poor schooling. Our communities and governments need to make proper education a priority for all youth.

[@ryanbeaty4893]

I have always enjoyed Alanis because I feel like her music is this journey of a person from youth, to death, to rebirth, to adulthood, etc. It’s truly an amazing evolution of one voice speaking observations, experiences, spirituality and in a way that is unique. Unique is hard to come by at this time. Not perfect, but one of the most fascinating artists.

Reminds me of a college friend (mid 90s) who was a super fan of Alanis and listened to her song "Ironic" so much that we got tired of it. In the car, apt, every where same song which made us crazy. So, one evening, he showed up to our typical hang out place and I said, Ronnie what are you doing here? He is like why? I said why didn't you go to Alanis Morssette's concert? She is in Houston tonight! He did not know......we all started singing the song, ...." Its ironic...."....

I have never once considered how her music came across to guys or that anyone would consider it or her scary because of it but in retrospect I can definitely see how it would make men uncomfortable, and it should.
