The less I was of who I was, the better I felt.

I will not be held like a drunkard / under the cold tap of facts

I want history to jump on Canada's spine with sharp skates.

I do cherish those moments when I can just relax in the hotel room. Because there are a lot of details that have to be taken care of aside from just getting up onstage. You're dealing with a number of human beings whose well-being and safety you're concerned about. There are people I like to meet and talk to in the crew and the band.

this is every musician's dream, to stand in front of an audience and not have to prove your credentials.

there's no forsaking what you love no existential leap as witnessed here in time and blood a thousand kisses deep

Most of the time one is discouraged by the work, but now and again by some grace something stands out and invites you to work on it, to elaborate it or animate it in some way. It's a mysterious process.
