I don't like to be afraid. I'm afraid every day, all the time.

Well, being a Canadian, I love SCTV, and I think it's the basis for all good North American comedy, so I compare everything to that.

This planet Earth, the act of putting a roof over our heads, our flesh and blood existence, it's all very temporary.

I sold my life to Capitol Records; it sucks.

I don't want a record company, but I need one, unfortunately.

I made money. What am I gonna invest in? Stocks? No. Im going to invest in music.

For me going solo meant freedom to collaborate and do whatever I feel I'm good at doing. For me it was really not ever expanding as an artist, developing everything from my songwriting to my singing to my mission statement to my vision. I've been so inspired by all the creative freedom that it brings that I have no complaints.
