I get offers to do huge-budget music videos with big production companies all the time, but I have no interest.

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.

When an artist, or whomever, moves from their scene to the bigger pond, it starts getting crazy, because all of a sudden people don't respect you, and you have to start being a lot more aggressive than you would normally be.

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.

You rarely find someone who sings really well and who produces really well; it's a problem, and I just think it's a missing link in the music scene.

I have a lot of Japanese friends: I grew up in Vancouver, and there's this huge Japanese population over there.

I like performing, but I usually get really sick when I'm on tour, and it's just hard.
