- 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.

- 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.
- Every time I go through something difficult, I think, 'This is the mother-load. I'm not going to get through this one.' And then, six months later, I'm like, 'What's his name again?'

So with all due respect to whomever may see themselves in my songs - and it happens all the time - I never really comment on it because I write these songs for myself. I don't write them for other people.
- Jagged Little Pill was such an insulated experience, not only the writing of it, but then the touring of it. I felt so solitary, like I was in survival mode.
- After being in the public eye for a long time, I get why people don't want to be here.
