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've put myself in this position where I haven't set myself up with a Plan B. I don't have a safety net; it's all in.

In a sense, touring is crazy. You go city to city playing the show over and over again. But there's something magic about being in front of people, so it's not like going through the motions every night. It's a different experience.

Less is more. Simplicity is awesome. That's all you need in life. Its just my personal philosophy.

I don't come to Toronto often, so when I'm there it's always special and rare which I think makes it very exciting for my fans.

I think the special stuff [music] still finds a way to be heard, as long as you pair it with a good release strategy.

I had a job since I was old enough to work - since I was, like, 14.
