Traveling renews you.

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.

I think I was a singer before I came out of the womb. I also think that the way you live your life, and the choices you make parallel what doors open up for you.

I mean, I am fully aware of my influence and my responsibility to society in general representing the gay community. But in the same time, I don't represent the entire gay community because it's a vast, vast community, as one can imagine.

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

There needn't be a distinction between your life and your music.

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.
