I really love watching the 70s live performance TV series "The Midnight Special" and "The Old Grey Whistle Test". Those are the best performances you've ever seen, and they sound incredible.

I know more than I knew before I didn't rest I didn't stop Did we fight or did we talk.

If you keep bashing your head against the same wall, at some point you're going to fall over and be still for awhile.

I haven't been living anywhere because I've been on tour for the past two years.

Music is pretty intimate stuff and I can only work with very few people: Gonzalez being one, Mocky being another and, on a completely different level, Broken Social Scene. With Broken Social Scene its not one-on-one, its a one-on-12. Its very healthy, very comfortable, like a big pot luck supper among old friends.

Gatekeeper was sort of my first attempt to put a little bit of a frame and boundaries around songwriting, and try to figure out a way to approach it that had a sort of end result in mind. I havent written many like that.

I didn't really get London until I read Dickens. Then I was charmed to death by it.
