Alanis Morissette quote: "There was a period of time during the 'Jagged Little Pill' era where I don't think I laughed for about two years. It was a survival mode, you know. It was an intense, constant, chronic over-stimulation and invasion of energetic and physical literal space."

One of my biggest inspirations was Alanis Morissette's 'Jagged Little Pill.'
