Ageism works in both directions. as a teenager in the public eye, people would talk condescendingly to me. when you get older there's this feeling that you have to start carving up your face and body. right now i'm in the middle ground - i think women in their thirties are taken seriously.

More From Alanis Morissette

I think, as a woman, in your thirties, it's the best time. women in their thirties are really beautiful. they are. i think that it's hard for people to love women when they get older. but it's easy for them to love men. men have always been able to age and be perceived as more handsome. but really, we're no different; we age exactly the same.
Beautiful Men Thinking
You have to stand up and be a human. you have to honor the man or woman that you are. respect your body, enjoy your body, love your body, feed, clean, and heal your body. exercise and do what makes your body feel good. this is a puja to your body, and that is a communion between you and god. . . . when you practice giving love to every part of your body, you plant seeds of love in your mind, and when they grow, you will love, honor, and respect your body immensely.

My twenties were great. who didn't have fun in their twenties? but my attention was more out there, more about the surface stuff and the cosmetic stuff. i was always thinking, 'what do i need to do?' now in my thirties, it's, 'what do i want to do?' i've just become more solid with my own identity. so whoever wants to say their twenties are better... yes, they're fun, especially at night - better parties, better cocktails... not better sex though. absolutely not. and whoever says that is lying because sex in your thirties and beyond is f**king out of this world.

We are dealing with the best-educated generation in history. but they've got a brain dressed up with nowhere to go. science is all metaphor. in the information age, you don't teach philosophy as they did after feudalism. you perform it. if aristotle were alive today he'd have a talk show. if you don't like what you are doing, you can always pick up your needle and move to another groove. if you take the game of life seriously, if you take your nervous system seriously, if you take your sense organs seriously, if you take the energy process seriously, you must turn on, tune in, and drop out.
Philosophy Moving Games
There have been, in recent years, many asian american pioneers in the public eye who've defied the condescendingly complimentary 'model minority' stereotype: actors like lucy liu, artists like maya lin, moguls like zappos ceo tony hsieh. they are known, often admired.

People say 'nerd' condescendingly, but when you're older you start to realize that it's the nerds who grow up to be the cool ones.
