Alanis Morissetteseemingly has lived more lives than most people could imagine.
If anything, Morissette is just getting started.
The first two albums were released in her native Canada, but barely made a peep elsewhere.
AsThe Independentadvises,Jagged Little Pillwas written in just two months, over the spring of 1994.
As she admitted in an interview withThe Telegraph, “I was always such a people-watcher.
I would sit on street corners alone and watch people and make up stories about them in my head.
Then, all of a sudden, I was the one being watched.”
It was overwhelming and Morissette began suffering anxiety attacks as a result.
Speaking toThe Guardianin 2020, she acknowledged dependencies on work, love, and food.
I live my whole life, then I take 10 minutes to write the story of it."
Thankfully, something else has changed for the better.
Morissette observed: “I used to feel like a freak in every room I was in.
Now I don’t feel strange.”
