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 believe in monogamy if that's what a couple decides upon together, but it all depends on the personal history and culture of the two involved.

Minimal is the word I'd use to describe how I live and dress, and it's also how I sing. I'm not a big fan of overemoting.

I never, my producer never, we never let myself just sing. We were always trying to get the perfect vocal.

You have to respect your audience. Without them, you're essentially standing alone, singing to yourself.

It was kind of easier for me to do records that didn't take a year or two years of my life to write and to make.

Traveling renews you.
