There are days when I still want to be able to do what I want when I want, but there's also something wonderful about being secure.

We all love animals. Why do we call some 'pets' and others 'dinner?'

I certainly fall in love with artists. I think that's probably the aspiration of an artist, to make a listener empathize so deeply that they do fall in love with you.

My public image is so low-key, but I get to travel the world and still have an audience and it's really amazing. I don't take that for granted.

If you knew how meat was made, youd probably lose your lunch.

I'm also alternative because of Canada - there's something romantic about being Canadian. We're a relatively unpopulated, somewhat civilized, and clean and resourceful country. I always push the fact that I'm Canadian.

I think I fall into a lot of cracks in terms of I'm too something. I'm too this, I'm too that. And my music has never really had a home. I've been this floating alternative. I'm too mainstream for alternative. I'm too alternative for mainstream. And I'm just kind of wandering.
