More From Alanis Morissette

Love. children are loving, they dont gossip, they dont complain, theyre just open-hearted. theyre ready for you. they dont judge. they dont see things by way of color. theyre very child-like. thats the problem with adults: they lose that child-like quality. and thats the level of inspiration thats so needed and is so important for creating and writing songs and for a sculptor, a poet or a novelist. its that same kind of innocence, that same level of consciousness, that you create from. and kids have it. i feel it right away from animals and children and nature. of course.
