I could not work for a long time. I don't spend very much money. Basically I spend money on food and DVDs.

I may not have gone to high school every day, but I spent whole a lot of my adolescence feeling vulnerable and confused and alone... just like everybody else.

It's great when you can just focus your whole attention on the music and hear all of the decisions and choices that were made.

Sometimes when a movie is really alive you can see that they were just making decisions on the spot. They weren't bound to anything, they were working with ideas that the actors and situations presented.

Normally what I do is I'll record something that I really like which will be part of a song or an idea. I kind of just record things and then I'm done with them. It takes discipline to actually carve out a song.

My father works for Xerox and fixes those gigantic copy machines that are about 10 feet wide.

I'm not stereotypically Canadian. I don't really follow hockey. I don't feel like anything other than myself, basically.
