I'm amazed every time I come back to Vancouver at how much it's changed. You go away for a month and there's three more skyscrapers.

I think I'm better behind the camera than I am in front.

I never took a grant or borrowed a penny from anybody. It was partially because I didn't really know how to do that, but secondly, my pride never would have allowed me to. In the beginning it was about doing it the right way, on the merits of the music.

There's a saying, 'It's easy to write songs, but very difficult to write great songs.' I'm going through that right now.

The moment I began to understand what was going on with the treatment of animals, it led me more and more in the way of the path I am [on] now, which is a complete vegan.

I always knew I'd be in music in some sort of capacity. I didn't know if I'd be successful at it, but I knew I'd be doing something in it. Maybe get a job in a record store. Maybe even play in a band. I never got into this to be a star.

One night love affair, pretending we don't care, and now we're left with nothing.
