I had this talent for these stupid little teenage songs. I just couldn't get anyone to sing my songs, so I had to sing my own tunes. ... The thing is to be able to outlast the trends. ... They are actually manufactured entertainment groups. They are a product of technology. What you are listening to is technology.

I had this talent for these stupid little teenage songs.

My family was a good family, I had a great Canadian education and I came up in a great, little town like Ottawa.

The technology is good and it's bad. You know what you're dealing with out there musically, but my head stops at this electronic stuff. I don't quite know what I'm dealing with out there yet.

As long as you're growing in your profession and you're respected, you're going to stay as clean as you can, because you've got something that you love that you don't want to lose.

I believe in criticism.

I've lived a life that's full, I traveled each and ev'ry highway, And more, much more than this, I did it my way.
