In America there’s lot of cool cities, but in Canada there’s, like, well, Vancouver, Toronto and Halifax may be cool, but they’re so expensive. Montreal is the only city that’s affordable but also has buses and culture.

I think Canadians make a lot of music because we’re stuck inside all the time.

Music Stuck Thinking
When an artist, or whomever, moves from their scene to the bigger pond, it starts getting crazy, because all of a sudden people don’t respect you, and you have to start being a lot more aggressive than you would normally be.

I only work at night, generally. Usually when I work [during the day] I’ll black out the windows or something.

I like going crazy. And not just for art – I like extremes in general.

I like performing, but I usually get really sick when I’m on tour, and it’s just hard.

I feel like gender lines are changing. A couple of years ago, it wasn’t nearly as OK for guys to like girly-sounding music. But all of a sudden a lot of my guys friends who would like have been really disdainful of female singers are way more accepting.

Fashion can be a really powerful tool, but it’s also a place where you can be totally humiliated and have your power taken from you.

I always wanted to be really experimental.

Experimental Really Wanted
If I think about what other people are thinking when I’m making music, I just can’t do it. It’s too withheld – I need to go totally over the top, and then kind of clean it up a bit and make it more reasonable after the fact.

I’m tired of being congratulated for being thin because I can more easily fit into sample sizes from the runway.

I believe the human mind is a very fallible thing, but it’s the only thing that I can really know, I guess.

Lately I’ve been really into screaming a lot through delay [effects], having seven people on stage topless going crazy, stuff like that. Really in your face, but maybe more organic than choreographed dance moves.
