I'm not really good at writing sad sappy ballads. In terms of the lyrics not matching the vibe of the music, that's kind of the way my career has gone; everyone is a little confused about it all the time.

Regardless of how funny I want to be, I don't ever have a problem speaking from my heart or speaking honestly to people.

I think recording at home feels more organic, and injects some more personality into the music.

The time came around where the label was like, "Well, if you want something to come out in early 2017, it's going to have to be done by, like, so-and-so." So I plucked some of the old songs and wrote some new ones. Everybody keeps asking me, "Is this your L.A. record?" I was doing songs in a bedroom in New York, I was doing it in a bedroom in L.A. The only difference is when I look out the window, there's palm trees instead of snow.

I never liked living in Montreal. And I don't really like the music scene there. It was never my cup of tea, and I never felt like I ever fit in.

I've never done an album in the same place really - I like to be able to remember where I did every single one of them .

Connan Mockasin from New Zealand. I met him a little while ago, I love his music.
