I get outside a lot. I am a huge champion of physical activity. It's so important.

Being the boss of your own career, you get used to having veto power and getting what you want, or as close to what you want as you have mapped out.

There are things about the production I'm not crazy about though. People mix records to be heard in cars and to have the bass incredibly loud so the vocals have to fight with everything so there's no dynamic left, and that's kind of a bummer. That may not be my taste but I'm not going to go, "Kanye's not very good," because he's pretty badass. It's a difference in taste, like the New Pornographers and myself have different taste in production as well but it all works out in the end.

I don't feel nervous or fearful when I'm on stage.

Dream dictionaries are so disappointing. They're so limited, and I think they're just total bullshit. I really do. I don't know much about the Freudian theory of dreams; it's probably more interesting than your average hippie dream dictionary, but it's got to be a lot deeper than that. It can't all be about sex all the time, so I don't know if Freud is right either.

Rich kids who write songs about food stamps always piss me off. I'm not going to write any songs about that, either.

I like to think that I'm not old yet.
