I like being behind the camera because I can control perception and what people see.

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

I don't want to have to compromise my morals in order to make a living.

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

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!

I usually like to get people in because I don't have a band or anything. In cities where I have friends, I try to get them to come out and dance for me.

I definitely see the voice as an instrument: It makes great drums, great synth pads, great everything. Vocals can be so many things, like, "Hey, I'm Michael Jackson, and this is my iconic voice," or a choir of people sounding like Mozart's Requiem. Mariah Carey is my favorite singer because her voice sounds utterly groundless. It's not even a human voice; it almost sounds mechanical.
