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

I don't want to over think anything because the second I do, I start to fail.

I just think if you're gonna play a show you should try and look nice.

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

I like writing stories. That's what I like to do. That's the way I see it, but with every song I get sucked into feeling something.

You know, I've never killed a man before. I mean I droped bombs on the enemy from the above, but never face to face. [thinking pause] I don't see what the big deal is - I really don't.

I admire when people take the harder path, not because they are masochistic and want to beat themselves up, but because you actually kind of learn more and I think you grow more.

Let life be short, else shame will be too long.
