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

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.

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.

The most valuable live thing for me is when people look like they're having a good time.

I think Canadians make a lot of music because we're stuck inside all the time.

Fashion can be a really powerful tool, but it's also a place where you can be totally humiliated and have your power taken from you.

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