Happy Birthday: Alanis Morissette

June 1, 1974 in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

Married to: Souleye (22 May 2010 – present) (1 child)

Quotes:

We’re taught to be ashamed of confusion, anger, fear and sadness, and to me they’re of equal value to happiness, excitement and inspiration.

Peace of mind for five minutes, that’s what I crave.

The whole celebrity thing is not something I’m overly interested in. I don’t pop up at parties. It’s just not my thing.

Music will always be a part of my life. I love music and I don’t care how many units I sell.

That what we judge in someone else, we are really judging in ourselves.
So many times I’ve been just gripping the steering wheel and driving, and just have a piece of paper on where my horn is, and just writing sort of looking up and down. I’ve done that so much! It’ll be worth the crash.
I have not an ounce of regret. Every link is so valuable in forming the chain that is my life. Who I am today is because of those links, and I wouldn’t change any of them.
