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.

I see my body as an instrument, rather than an ornament.

In my life, anyway, anytime that I judge something to be rigidly right or wrong, it comes from fear.

I guess what people forget sometimes is that when I write songs, I write them sometimes in about 20 minutes.

When I'm really, really angry, if I'm privileged enough to be next to someone who can hold my anger, I'll definitely take them up on holding the bucket.

When we think of digitally disconnecting and inviting presence into our lives, we are creating the conditions of integration within and between.

Peace of mind for five minutes, that's what I crave.
