I think I have a better sense of my weaknesses - being self-important, selfish and having a big ego probably triggers all the other stuff. I can see myself more clearly.

It's just a theory really, but I have always thought that your physical surroundings can shape your voice and personality.

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'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 never get tired of exploring Americana or country music, and I always have a little bit of a crooner in me that never seems to go away.

I don't sing anything that hurts my voice.

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