I like the idea of interviews where you just talk about stuff instead of where it's my chance to talk to my public through something else.

The things that I've seen where people are trying to change the definition of what a band has to be, those are the things that end up being inspiring.

It's not my fault that people are perverts.

I try not to focus on the gender issue too much but I think you have to acknowledge it in order for it to go away.

Believe in the power of songs.

We don't have T-shirts with my face, but there I can see the beginnings, especially young girls seeing me as sort of a icon in that way. And in that regard I'm more than happy to step in.

I have an identity crisis which is not resolved because I'm a dual citizen. My whole family is American, and I was born in India but I was raised in Canada. But all my extended family is American, I've held an American passport and I've spent my whole adult life in between New York and LA. So I feel like an American... and I also feel like a Canadian! I wish more people were dual citizens and then I wouldn't feel like such a freak.
