More From Alanis Morissette

All the unimaginative assholes in the world who imagine that shakespeare couldn't have written shakespeare because it was impossible from what we know about shakespeare of stratford that such a man would have had the experience to imagine such things - well, this denies the very thing that separates shakespeare from almost every other writer in the world: an imagination that is untouchable and nonstop.
Men Imagination World
When i was doing shakespeare and i had spent a lot of time and effort in trying to become a great shakespearean actress. that was how i started my career, was in the theater doing shakespeare. and my ambition was to be a great classical actress. that was what i wanted more than anything. so, i really pursued that in the first four years of my career. and it was an uphill struggle. it really was. shakespeare's difficult and shakespeare in a big theater is even more difficult. so, anyway, it was a struggle for me.
Struggle Ambition Effort
It's easier to do shakespeare than spelling, and i know that sounds crazy, because the challenge of shakespeare is living up to shakespeare, living up to that word, not failing, you know, where with aaron spelling it's like, just try to look good. or maybe don't use spelling there, that's bad. no - you can. he's dead.
Crazy Challenges Trying
Between two fantasy alternatives, that holbein the younger had lived long enough to have painted shakespeare or that a prototype of the camera had been invented early enough to have photographed him, most bardolators would choose the photograph. this is not just because it would presumably show what shakespeare really looked like, for even if the photograph were faded, barely legible, a brownish shadow, we would probably still prefer it to another glorious holbein. having a photograph of shakespeare would be like having a nail from the true cross.
Two Long Shadow
Shakespeare is one of the reasons i've stayed an actor. sometimes i spend full days doing shakespeare by myself, just for the joy of reading it, saying those words... i do shakespeare when i am feeling a certain way.

I grew up in a theater family. my father was a regional theater classical repertory producer. he created shakespeare festivals. he produced all of shakespeare's plays, mostly in shakespeare festivals in ohio. one of them, the great lakes theater festival in cleveland, is still going. so i grew up not wanting to be an actor, not wanting to go into the family business.

I believe the person who was out conquering the world, who was out fighting in the world were our fathers, so to have them come... i adored my father more than anyone in the world, but my father had more advice on work policies and how to get a job and how to survive in the work environment than my mother because my mother never worked outside of the home. so i think the support of fathers is very important.
