A lot of artists talk about getting out of their comfort zones and being the most proud of their newest album. But it is true for me. I rethought a lot of what I do.

I am a candid interview and I have a dark and dry sense of humor - a very Canadian sense of humor.

I had done an interview with 'Hello' magazine. In it, they asked me if I was going to marry Emily Blunt. Of course, what was I going to say? I said, 'Oh yeah I am going to marry her and I love her and all of this stuff.' It's true. I was making a joke. They said to me, 'Have you asked her?' I said, 'Have I? Maybe I am asking her through the magazine.'

Who I am is a dad and a family guy. When I look in the mirror and talk to myself, that's what I want to reflect.

I can't sit and compare my trouble to Brian Wilson but I came from a blue-collar family of fishermen. Music was an escape and a way for me to dream of better things and a better place to be. Let's just say I was an insecure, scared kid.

When I say something funny in a newspaper and I meant it to be funny, it doesn't read that way.

Sometimes being an artist means knowing when to let someone see something in you that is there that you can't hear or see.
