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.

Heartache is very fertile ground for song-making but so is happiness, so is absolute bliss.

Justin Bieber looks like a lesbian. Hot as sh*t!

Sweet, sweet burn of sun and summer wind, and you my friend, my new fun thing, my summer fling.

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

I like the music. I don't like the business. I get very tired of the travel and moving, constantly moving. But the hour-and-a-half that I'm making music, I'm one of the happiest people on earth.

I just try to live a really simple, natural life, because obviously, life has an impact on your voice.
