I don't sing anything that hurts my voice.

Traveling renews you.

I think that the older I get and the more comfortable I get with myself, the more I realize that art is about relinquishing control of your emotions and being vulnerable and innocent.

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.

"Spirituality comes from questioning everything but at the same time accepting everything. You can even be spiritual watching TV. When the ad comes on and says, "Don't hate me because I am beautiful," question that."

My voice and the styles and genres I sing all express my appreciation for what I hear.

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.
