| "She reminds me of me when I started out: slightly akward extremely self-possessed and straightforward. There's a sense of excitement and giddiness in the air around her - like anything's possible and the sky's the limit" ~Madonna "I'm glad that we've all made inroads so that Alanis can be a safe version of female rage." ~Courtney Love (on MTV News) "Alanis is a phenomenal talent who wowed the world with her style." ~Aaliyah "I really like her. She's such a good person. I like her as a person a lot. I like the songwriting and I think I like her singing but I've got to tell you, I have a hard time listening to that record, just on a sonic level. It would make a dog's ears hurt. I hate records that have so much high end and no bottom." ~Tori Amos from the May '98 issue of Q Magazine "She's amazing. I really respect her. She writes from the heart, and when she sings you feel what she is saying." ~Brandy "Unfortunately she uses her genius to encourage behavior that may lead to difficulties, especially among the very young." ~Barbara Wyatt, president of the Partners With the Music Resource Center "If she puts it down on wax, she's cool with me." ~Lauryn Hill of the Fugees "If we were to make a nail polish for Alanis, what would it look like? It would be gunmetal gray, and we would call it Torture." ~Dineh Mohajer, president, Hard Candy "She's the closest thing to the divine, here on Earth." ~Kevin Smith "She'll probably be Madonna's boss in a couple of years" ~Playboy "It's like meeting the girl of your dreams and finding out she's five....It's like going crazy when you're already nuts....It's like rain on a rainy day" ~MTV commercial "I just want everyone to know that for the rest of the fight i'm gonna have one hand in my pocket while the other one is beating the crap out of tool (Jewel) here. " ~Celebrity death match between Alanis and Jewel "Tell Alanis she sucks" ~Courtney Love "They didn't order it, she served it, if you want to, eat it." ~Steven Tyler on the whole ironic controversy "Alanis is the fifth teletubby" ~EW Online "[Alanis] has done more to make people want to go to the theater than...Andrew Lloyd Webber" ~Dennis Miller "It wasn't bad; kinda like chicken" ~Sarah Jessica Parker on kissing Alanis in "Sex in the City" "50 Ways to Know That You're Stuck In The 80's... 27-You have a weird sexual fantasy about Alanis Morrisette pouring green slime on your head." "Stay tuned for my interview with Alanis Morissette on the negative influence of betty dolls on young girls" ~Kurt Loder on "Sugar and Spice" "First and immediate impression - the girl is completely sweet, warm, kind, intelligent and funny. Funny? Yes funny. She�s been non-stop smiles and laughter ever since she got on set. It�s contagious. Forget the angry voice of female angst heard on her multi-platinum debut album, JAGGED LITTLE PILL. This isn�t that Alanis Morissette. This Alanis is very calm, cool and collective" ~Mysterio "Good lyrics, good music, good singing, good songs" ~Grace Slick "There's a sense of tremendous honesty in her music. Like take it or leave it. I like that." ~Roberta Flack "When she reinvented herself in 1995 rock and roll found its new heroine" ~VH1's 100 Greatest Women "I think she would look good with heavy-duty bangs. Her hair should also be loose and wavy in the interior. I wouldn't want to make her look like everyone else with layers. She should look sultry and romantic, but also eerie." ~Bok-Hee Meixner, hair stylist, Bumble & Bumble, New York City "...we're happy to report, she still says fuck a lot." ~Kate Sullivan, Spin Magazine |
