'I was loved and ignored, and adored and hated, then I was considered really hip, and then totally irrelevant, and then totally relevant again,' the singer said when accepting the Icon award at BBWomenInMusic
After receiving the Icon Award at Thursday night's Women in Music honors, the singer described the media and public perception of her as"this one-dimensionalizing thing that would happen a lot."
"I don't normally give speeches -- I play drums for a living," Hawkins began his intro. "And one of the reasons I play drums for a living is because of the amazing woman who is here tonight, Alanis Morissette." He went on to call her an "amazing boss," and claimed that he "would be delivering pizzas if it wasn't for her."
Morissette talked about feeling vulnerable as a performer, and finding the strength in that. "I wanna salute the women who go to work who are really, really sensitive, and are terrified... and still go," she said.
