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

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

If you look at the way people behave at shows, icons are now musicians; they are the people that we worship.

Obviously, I like things that are cute and aggressive at the same time, but I didn't want it to just be mini-bangs and lip-syncing in a dress. I need to get away from that stuff.

I grew up with four brothers, and in the back of my head I feel pretty masculine. It's always funny when I hear recordings of my voice, because it's so deep when I hear it in my head.

I can tell really early on in a painting if I'm going to toss it or not.

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