Thankfully, I'm not put in a position where I'm made to feel like I can't live my life.

I'll acknowledge that I'm from Canada but I don't think I'll acknowledge that I'm Canadian.

I'm totally open to outside opinions and criticism.

I can tell what inspired the songs for me, or what I was thinking and feeling at the time. But I don't want that to be the definitive meaning behind the song. I like the idea that people can interpret, even if they're way off base. I'm rambling. I'm not good at talking about my feelings.

It's always something that interests me, crafting a really perfect pop gem, but it's not a lifelong obsession. I've kind of moved beyond it. I think I needed to get that out of my system, to exorcise.

You're forced to step into that performer role. I can't just hide behind a synthesizer forever.
