Alanis Morissette

A good man often appears gauche simply because he does not take advantage of the myriad mean little chances of making himself look stylish. Preferring truth to form, he is not constantly at work upon the facade of his appearance.

I’ll keep evolving and put that into my songs.

Anything I do has to be directly related to my music. If it isn’t, I don’t really see a point to it.

I see the whole concept of Generation X implies that everyone has lost hope.

And if I had a preference, it would be to be able to not be in the studio until 4 in the morning.

Down the road, I’ll probably have a kid or two or three. And there will probably be political events or spiritual things to comment on, and humor.

I’ve known Daniel since I was 22. We did a play together in London many years ago.

There’s no better money to spend than your own.

When it comes down to it, I just like taking my pants down.

That had her lip-syncing to a record… There was no protection for her as a person or as an artist…

I’ve got to the point now where I can poke some fun at my old image and really enjoy letting go when a juicy role comes along.

The interesting thing about my character ‘Sylar’ is that my strengths as an actor seemed to go completely against the shape of a character in the shadows. I stepped into this character and then realized how much there was to play with.

I can’t believe we’ve got away with becoming this huge band. And we still haven’t done anything I think is that good yet.

My husband said it was him or the cat. I miss him sometimes.

I’m a big fan of ‘The Office’, both the British and the American versions.

I’m the lady next door when I’m not on stage.

It is a little insulting that you’re trying to appeal to adult women voters the same way that Mattel attempts to appeal to eight year olds. And at least Barbie’s pink bus had the good sense to unfold into a sweet hot tub and party den combo. … The only way it could be even more patronizing is if its wheels were giant NuvaRings and they refused to let women drive it.

I look like an angel, but I can play the bitch.

The thing is, I get asked when I first knew I wanted to act so often, and I genuinely can’t answer it. It’s just… I got the bug, and that’s it.

[on filming Red Eye] I loved the action sequences, running though an airport in heels and all that stuff. That was really fun.
