I came to America from Canada because Canada is stultifyingly boring and incredibly hypocritical.

American media has just become talk radio, incredibly partisan name-calling and op-eds.

When you're 18, 19, you want to live fast and leave a beautiful corpse behind.

I don't go to bars and stuff like I used to, but I live each day to make something.

I was getting mad at the system or the politicians or the government, and then I realized someone should talk about this stuff, and I have a big, multinational global-youth platform of kids who are going to change the world. So I was like, "I should be doing that. I should be showing this to people. That's my job." And since that time, I've been very happy.

I woke up. I was like, "Look, you can do anything you want - and you want a lot of things, so you should get to work."

I don't care if I die - look, I'm old - but you want your kids to have good times and a good life.
