Happy Birthday: Alanis Morissette

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.

Quotes:

I’m very lucky. As I get a lot of role because of my name as a model and I probably wouldn’t have got them without it. You have to make the best of your situation.

Michael J. Fox is a great, sexy, funny, short man. I had so much fun on that show [Spin City (1996)]. There was this scene where we were lying in bed together after sex. But instead of having a cigarette, I start yodeling, because I’m German, see? He kept making me laugh, we were cracking up.

Going blonde is like buying yourself a light bulb!

I believe that when you put a smile out there, you get a smile back.

When I came to America, I was really into all the things people eat here. . . . People called me Muffin because I would eat muffins all the time.

Seal and I feel very lucky that we found each other. He’s my best friend. He would never go in through a door first. He always opens the door for me and steps back so I walk through.
