The writing process is very much like being in a dark tunnel, and you don't really know what you will end up with until you have created it.

Generally I try to read anything but indie rock journalism or anything about music at all, especially in the summer.

I think if I were living in a utopian world, then it wouldn't be political commentary; it would be about daffodils.

I always felt like I had to leave Canada, which I think is a common perspective - feeling as if you have to leave because otherwise you'll be too soft, and that objective reality exists in America. And I'm starting to feel like that doesn't have to be the case.

It's a strange life... you really don't know how you will impact people or how things will play out.

It's not my fault that people are perverts.

I do like touring but my life sort of starts to fall apart under it after a certain point. So you just have to stop. And it's hard to.
