From an early age I knew I would be unhappy if I wasn't doing something creative.

I'm tired of being congratulated for being thin because I can more easily fit into sample sizes from the runway.

If I went on 'American Idol,' I would definitely be kicked out immediately.

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.

I've never lived outside of Canada, so I've been really cold my entire life. Most of my memories are coloured by the fact that I was really cold, just... all the time!

If I think about what other people are thinking when I'm making music, I just can't do it. It's too withheld - I need to go totally over the top, and then kind of clean it up a bit and make it more reasonable after the fact.

It's really hard to be on stage and packing your gear when people who just saw you play are in the room, because they all just want to talk to you.
