Fame, Music, and Marathons: A Candid Talk with Alanis Morissette

The Morning X with Barnes & Leslie

In this episode of the Best Of The Morning X, Barnes, Leslie and Jimmy revisit an iconic interview with Alanis Morissette, reflecting on her journey from the early days of her career to her remarkable success with 32 million albums sold. Alanis opens up about the pressures of fame, the need for a sabbatical after a long tour, and her personal growth during that time. She shares her passion for triathlons, comparing it to her musical accomplishments, and discusses the creative process behind her albums, including the experimental approach to her latest record, "Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie." The conversation also touches on her thoughts about fame, the impact of her public persona, and the infamous rumor about her relationship with Leonardo DiCaprio.

This is from the Best of The Morning X vault.
