Alanis Morissette interview New York Times

Alanis Morissette interview New York Times All rights reserved Alanis Morissette

[@ReverbAndBeer]

She could have been anything - a heart surgeon, an astronaut, an architect. We are so lucky that she chose music (or that music chose her).

[@BimaOctavian]

No shining fake make-up, No glamorous designer dress, No cleavage-booty exposure. I missed this kind of musician today.

[@Julian-we6qg]

fake makeup, nice

[@flip1sba]

during her pop star days she had glamorous dresses but no booty exposure.

[@nam3263]

Pure, beautiful genius is Alanis. There is nothing more appealing than listening to an intelligent, intellectual, eloquent person talking.

[@TheOriginalMyocardia]

It is mind-blowing to realize that she has the looks of a supermodel, the intellect of scientist, is that intellectual, and has that much eloquence, isn't it?

[@carolynloughran5450]

@@TheOriginalMyocardia Supermodel? Not quite. Love her, but I don’t think she’s that good looking 😬

[@Tacoman869]

@@carolynloughran5450 You're right. She's better looking than a super model.

[@flickad]

@@TheOriginalMyocardia she's not a supermodel, but she has a very unique and appealing look and an awesome energy.

I could have easily watched 10 hours of this. I didn't want it to end. What an incredible interview.

[@andyracksthecams]

I wanted to comment but can't for some reason but your words more or less summed up what I feel. A superbeing being interviewed by a wise man!

[@andyracksthecams]

I wrote that before 1:09

[@kamaschulz]

This is one of the best conversations between two people that I’ve heard in a long time.

[@applepiebetty]

Dido.

[@perhapsshellliveafterall]

Isn't she just wonderful? A pure treasure. Inside and out ❤❤

[@EmmanuelleLunada2010]

l love that she still has the long hair. I love her long hair.

[@spenfriend2]

Alanis' music, lyrics, and level of consciousness is beyond the comprehension of many who look to compare her to other pop musicians. The expressions in her music are sensitive, intimate, deep, intelligent, and filled with wisdom, insight and realizations.

[@summertea545]

OMG....give it up dude she's not beyond comprehension.

[@spenfriend2]

@@summertea545 Oh, are you one of those trolls I've been hearing of? Nice to meet one in person...

Salute

[@vgdiias]

Totally agree with every word you writen here! Beautiful and sensible description.

[@jacobbarr9569]

Very well put! she's like no other

[@madiham1533]

This is phenomenal, she is phenomenal and a role model for me. Growing up listening to her music, it didnt hit me on a deeper level till much later. Alanis knows whats up. I love her so much.

[@manuelabesada-lombana2881]

I cant stop loving her, she was the first female figure I felt related to

[@elHEARTBREAKER]

I love to hear her speak, so eloquent, intelligent, and interesting. I mean, describing her music in terms of colors... brilliant!. Very few artists have such depth and self-awareness as Alanis.

[@jakestevens3788]

she's amazing so intelligent and a beautiful soul

[@m.chanderbahn.r.pharm.3219]

elHEARTBREAKER it's true.

[@susanjay5507]

@Wenthony, I am so with you on your statement! What a brilliant woman and such a pleasure to hear her speak what is true and real. And she's so adorable when she smiles and chuckles at what's been said. Love her!!!

[@waynesearle7095]

I took my son and stepdaughter to see her way back in the day...... Now alanis morissette has saved my daughter......I can't thank her enough.

[@gfrizzleshizzlemanizzle]

Wow that is amazing. Love from New Zealand.

[@deborahmcginn2728]

Alanis is smart. She is brave and expresses her truths. I love hearing her story of growing up and expressing herself deeply inward. She was grand as a judge on American Idol recently. Cannot wait to buy her new album in August.

[@franko2466]

She's so Intellectual, such a good vocabulary!

[@Ayan44]

i love this interview. she is so eloquent and honest.

[@britishboxer6875]

wait till you see her with her lesbian friend

[@FlorioPhoto]

Best Comments to read here are by the many women who are moved by her music and her as a person. The influence she's had on so many young women, and into their Adulthood is pretty fucking kool ...given so many young women and teenagers of today are so enthralled by the likes of Kardashian's / Jenner's which is mostly superficial bullshit. Alanis and women like her are Real.

[@gabrielaphalempin7870]

Alanis is a true Lady and, quoting the interviewer, a smart person. It must be wonderful to be able to enjoy her company and wisdom. She is far from perfect - we all are - but she had the bravery to search, to question and shout out loud all that aflicts a human being. I never thought I'd be identifying myself so much with her songs at the age of 7, but something struck me because she remains today as one of my greatest idols!

[@angelramsey2524]

alanis has always been my fav since i was 14, im 33 now😊

[@robertbuckley3762]

I never knew what she looked like. I used to love her stuff in the 90's. But then I lost track. She is really a beautiful and awesomely talented person.

[@clos6613]

So incredibly beautiful. Inside and out. I've come to appreciate her more later in my life than I did when I was younger and she was so popular. Jagged Little Pill is an absolute masterpiece full of hit after hit

[@JAFOpty]

Damn looking good for 41

This woman is so well spoken, she is so smart and has achieved such a HIGH level of consciousness. She literally WOKE UP AN RNTIRR GENERATION

Greater interviewer. Asks great questions and pulls out interesting answers from Alanis.

[@s0me0ne1se]

He’s awesome, it’s one of the interviews with more substance I’ve watch from her.

[@MariahYanez]

I love listening to Alanis speak. Loved her since 93! I just found out last year that we have the same personality type...INFJ! It's the rarest type! It's no wonder why I like her!!!

[@susanjay5507]

@MariahYanez EL, is that right??? No wonder I love her too. It's a tough personality type to live with in one respect, yet on the other hand, it's just "normal". Great to know! Thanks

[@The1990game]

Alanis is beautiful and one of my favourite singers to listen to and those boots look awesome!

[@kdbwiz]

An amazing voice, a true and incredibly authentic performer. One of the best ever. She has the ability to deliver emotion to any degree at will. Wow.

[@EllieMoon-qq9hu]

I love Alanis so much😭

[@kasperhansen9413]

I just keep seeing this interview … and her concerts from the 90”s. She is a great singer, songwriter and seems so nice … fun and sweet. AND she is very smart also

[@dolitsaoriordan7697]

so jealous of everyone who s been there.. but thanks for your questions, they were pretty interesting. Alanis is one of a kind. changed so many lives including mine

[@beeztrapp1612]

One of the best interviews I've ever seen.

[@Silvia-jy8zc]

Good interviewer! 👍🏼 Unusual within the mainstream media nowadays.

[@7BlueDodger]

I agree. He really sounds like he did his homework. I wonder if he’s a true fan of her work. I’ve never really listened to Alanis interviews until the pandemic but I really like hearing what she has to say. And she’s beautiful ☺️

[@s0me0ne1se]

Thank you for pointing this out. He’s incredibly empathic and smart, he really knew what to ask and how to conduct the thread of the interview. Brilliant. He mentioned “Incomplete” the last song from Flavors of Entanglement and I’m sure none of the usual interviewers or music journalists even know that song exists and what is about. They were a treat to listen to. Alanis’ sense of humor shone through the whole interview which is difficult when the interviewer doesn’t know how to respond to her energy.

[@saulvega9629]

One of the best interviews I’ve ever seen in my whole life. I couldn’t explain how this woman means to me .. thank u Alanis ❤️

[@skmnstr]

Alanis Frikken Morissette. She is literally so evolved consciously. She is a guru of life honestly.

[@kevinlee9698]

ALANIS I BOW TO YOU your an amazing singer/song writer you changed the landscape of music in my life I'm 58 year's old and will be a fan till I die so keep doing what you're doing and the longer I will be there ❤️❤️❤️

[@susanjay5507]

@Kevin Lee, I seriously doubt she is gong to change much of anything, which in and of itself what makes her so special!!!

[@jacobs83133]

I LOVE ALANIS ❤️

[@hellosweetheart3350]

The first CD I ever bought. Thank you Alanis ❤️ And I'd lay on my floor in the dark right in front of my loud JVC floor model stereo system and belted the lyrics right along with her. That was living after everyone went to sleep in my neighborhood.

[@bertpainter8385]

Now she is a real artist. Well spoken too. Truly knows how to handle herself in her communication with others.

[@bertagriese8282]

Extraordinary awesome woman. Nice interviewer as well - so shy...

[@angelusa73]

Did not know you this way and glad able to find out more about who you are and what helped you become who you are. Follow what tells you your soul. Used to write daily diary for years. Fell forgot to be deeper. Was too young and had to widen my horizons. We all need the time and right place to find ourselves.

[@bocanccini]

So eloquent and sincere!

[@thattonymyers]

The questions the people directed were so well-worded. I might choke in front of her but deep and prodding questions that were so well analyzed and it was neat to hear her personal spin put on the spot. Alanis fans are really good people. I'm lucky to have met so many of you from all over the world...

[@gabrielaphalempin7870]

I loved Adam when he said we was waiting since he was 15 years old to talk to her! I'm waiting since I was 7!

[@whitewitch120]

old soul 💗

[@rturney6376]

At least ❤

[@robyntatelman7233]

Oh to know oneself so well and speak about it like this in front of the world, what must that be like? Thank you for letting me see you and know that there is a possibility that I could be as good as you, because I feel I understand what you’re saying, and your music speaks to me, so I feel like I’m in the club. Although I’ve never met you, it doesn’t matter. How beautiful you are to me, you make me want to be a better person. 🌸

[@funnylookingfoetus]

Absolutely wonderful interview with a phenomenal artist :)

[@vgdiias]

My daughter calls Alanis because of this wonderful woman, she inspires me since 1998 When I found her music in a soup opera here in Brazil called SUAVE VENENO, after this ? I became an Alanis' Brazilian fan and i keeping following her steps in every single new from her. Sorry for my bad english skills, i'm practicing.

[@mrcharlieobrown]

awesome interviwer. doesn't let any hook lost along the way..

Just imagine, her original record label dump her because she wanted to write her own songs, then she got Jagged little pills out, they're still crying to this day.

[@appropriatelyinappropriate13]

Pure genius. She knows shit. Can we create more of her please? True artist. Unifying. Wise. Powerful.

[@m.chanderbahn.r.pharm.3219]

Well Alanis. This is the first interview with you that I've seen. You had my "full attention" all the way through. You touched on a lot of topics I've often found myself tortuously questioning over the years. All I can say is "thank you". It's not by any means an epiphany but certainly a nudge in the right direction for me spiritually, ...a wholesome new way to view life, humanity and how I will persevere on my journey.

[@callie.envoyage]

She is always so authentic and deep. Amazing interviewer though.. so essential for great dialogue. He is excellent.

[@MooWithMetubes]

I love this woman so much...

drop dead beeeeeautiful

[@yinyang5241]

Phenomenal woman she is

[@rideyourbikent]

The more she talked so intelligently about herself the more I realised how stupid I was and understood so little about myself .

[@sisterseeth]

As long as you look back at your past self and cringe, it means you're growing/clarifying. May we all look back and cringe the rest of our days! We're all stupid and completely incapable of knowing the full spectrum of our potential while navigating in this body and this sensory environment. Don't be hard on yourself. The fact that you're capable of knowing that you understand so little about yourself, means that you're moving toward it right now. So many go to their graves without a single moment of self-reflection or spend every waking minute coming up with distractions to avoid it. Warmth from Kentucky.

[@yamil.343]

You’re not stupid. Just on a different level of consciousness.
