I tried to be really tough when I was younger. I felt I had to stand up for myself. I never felt like I fit in.

I didn't watch a lot of TV growing up.

I really, really admire my parents so much, for how they raised me. They're some of the best human beings I know.

I don't watch the news. I get really emotional about it, and I carry that stuff with me for a long time.

The people that matter to me the most are the people that are in my life. That's who I really learn from, and it's always a very personal kind of connection.

I just don't want to be famous. I feel like there's a lot of sacrifice in that I'm not really willing to make.

I worked at a Sport Chek in Vancouver, only so I could get the discount off snowboard gear. But I hated the job so much, I quit before I got my discount.
