Alanis Morissette: 我花了很长时间才处理好《Jagged Little Pill》带来的影响。成名让我从观察者变成了被观察者，这让我感到不安。我曾经以为成名能治愈我，但事实并非如此。我开始意识到，真正的幸福不是追求短暂的状态，而是适应痛苦，活在当下。我曾经缺乏自我意识，但现在我正在努力寻找真正的自我。我意识到，仅仅做我自己就能帮助别人，所以我决定继续创作。我的音乐是宣泄，也是服务。我正在积极地从爱瘾中恢复，这需要大量的治疗和努力。我和我的丈夫正在努力建立一个平等的精神伙伴关系，为了精神成长。我体验到的幸福感来自于看穿了自我和分离的幻觉。真正的工作是在日常生活中保持平静和专注。世界需要连接。 Oprah Winfrey: 我认为给予自己最宝贵的礼物是时间，充分地活在当下。名声就像一个放大镜，放大了你真实的自我或你正在挣扎的东西。我之所以成名，是因为我打破了模仿他人的模式，只是做我自己。如果我没有读过《Getting the Love You Want》这本书，我和斯特德曼的关系可能不会维持到现在。

Grammy award-winning singer/songwriter Alanis Morissette reflects on passion, art and the spiritual lessons that helped her become grounded. Alanis is candid about the toll that fame took on her life. After admitting she didn’t laugh for two years, Alanis shares what she has come to realize about happiness: “I think happiness is a state, and it’s a temporary state. … Sitting in the seat of awareness can give some relief … but I wouldn’t call it happiness. I would call it the bliss, or the joy, of consciousness.”
