I think my music's kind of cold, but I don't know if it's related to the weather. It might be because it's always grey [in Montreal], it's very depressing.

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

It's important for people not to feel like doing things that are immature, stuff you have to try out when you're a teenager, is bad, per se. Demonizing it is one of the reasons it becomes such an issue.

I just can't perform well unless I'm wearing jeans.

I'm just very obsessed with Japanese stuff in general.

My manager lives on my block; four of the apartments in my apartment complex of seven are people I know. It's a really close-knit community, and almost everyone on these few blocks are artists or graphic designers, because we live right on the cusp of a warehouse district.

When I'm making something I need it to be catchy - I need it to hit the sweet spot.
