Canada has a passive-aggressive culture, with a lot of sarcasm and righteousness. That went with my weird messianic complex. The ego is a fascinating monster. I was taught from a young age that I had to serve, so that turned into me thinking I had to save the planet.

...and what it all comes down to is that I haven't got it all figured out just yet.

And if I had a preference, it would be to be able to not be in the studio until 4 in the morning.

I'll be writing songs till I die. There's just no question.

Society, magazines, posters, music videos, investment bankers. A lot of times, in my past anyway, looking within wasn't overly encouraged. Pretty much everybody proclaimed that fame would give me power and fortune.

Love is thick and it swallows me whole.

I'll write records until I'm dead. And then maybe even after that!
