As a producer, I'm trying to challenge myself to just make something that is of a professional quality - not necessarily pop music, but maybe in the sense that Nine Inch Nails is professional quality.

I have an intense desire to constantly make music, and I don't feel that way about anything else.

I'm sad that it's uncool or offensive to talk about environmental or human rights issues.

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

I don't even wear shoes with heels because I hate making a noise when I walk and people looking at me.

It takes me probably about four hours to get into the groove [with making music]. And it's really important for me to not break the groove.

In America there's lot of cool cities, but in Canada there's, like, well, Vancouver, Toronto and Halifax may be cool, but they're so expensive. Montreal is the only city that's affordable but also has buses and culture.
