I think a sexual energy is a positive energy.

I just write what comes to me. I didn't sit down and say ok, here is my statement. It's just a song that has a shout out.

Lots of people take the option of not activating their own life, of really letting it happen.

It bothers me that no one has the patience to deal with someone who is just sad.

In Canada there's an extensive grant system that really allows people to make their work without having to suffer that much, and I'm staring to come around on that, that maybe people don't have to suffer. Maybe you can just not be unhappy and make beautiful music in Canada, maybe that's ok.

I don't really write journals and stuff and then adapt them to music, it's completely within the form of the song. My great obsession and basically the bane of my existence is caring probably too much about every word, but it's too late to change my career path.

You feel like you're trying to show off your cool by mentioning the five bands that you know are great and the five books that will reflect well on you. I can't do it. I should take the time to but I don't want to take the time to do that.
