Whenever I perform I try to connect with the crowd and give off energy so when they walk away from the show its remarkable and its something they talk about it, like 'damn I cant wait to come back to my show.'

There's a crazy energy in Toronto. I think some of that may be from being a border from where I'm from and being so close.

In anything I do I try to stay true to myself because I think that's what matters most, and then the challenge is getting all these different sides of my personality to fit together in one box. It isn't an easy task. But that's basically what the end result represents.

I always think I'm going to record a lot on tour but it's always hard to fit it in the schedule, and there's a whole lotta' other extra curricular activities that happen on the road.

I think any time you're at the end of a trip you're usually pretty ready to come home and start working regularly again.

It's a really good time for California right now in music.

I've matured as a person and so has the music... It's gotten more sophisticated and interesting I think.
