Alanis Morissette was asked how she felt about fellow Canadian Avril Lavigne being compared to her.

“She appeals to a certain group of people so that’s cool. Catchy lyrics and all that so it’s definitely rocking pop.”

When asked whether the pair talked about music during their photo shoot together in New York recently, Alanis said “We talked about it a little bit. Having been in a position similar to hers when I was younger and having been on the receiving end of a lot of people saying, ‘Call me,’ I know that the very act of expressing support can be a very sustaining thing.”

“I definitely invited her to call if ever she needed anyone to talk to, that she’s welcome to connect with me, and I send her love.”
