The intentions of record companies are not good, from the musician's perspective.

I love big budgeted, epic rock landscapes. That's what turns me on.

As soon as I became old enough to make my dreams my reality, I became a firm believer that the subconscious and the world outside of our flesh and blood is essentially the truth.

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.

I get so into playing the bass. The only time I ever feel the same way is when I'm having sex; it's the epitome of unifying with something.

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.

I sold my life to Capitol Records; it sucks.
