I grew up with four brothers, and in the back of my head I feel pretty masculine. It's always funny when I hear recordings of my voice, because it's so deep when I hear it in my head.

I grew up going to punk shows, that kind of thing - I don't wanna make pop punk! - but I like the idea of people going totally crazy and it being really intimate, loud and super-aggressive, but combining that with pop music.

Even though I really admire what Beyonce does, and she's probably got one of the best live shows in the world - honestly! - that's so not my style.

I'm a very unhealthy person, and Montreal is very cold, and I'm usually sick when I'm there.

Success, for me, is a song that can deliver shivers.

I believe the human mind is a very fallible thing, but it's the only thing that I can really know, I guess.

If you focus too much on development of the visual angle, it could be a detriment to what you're doing musically.
