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.

The last thing I think about when I'm making music is its reception.

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 have an intense desire to constantly make music, and I don't feel that way about anything else.

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.

Sometimes you find people who are magnetic, but once they get in front of a camera, they freak out and get weird.

I definitely see the voice as an instrument: It makes great drums, great synth pads, great everything.
