Especially With Music, People Want Confidence.

I've Never Lived Outside Of Canada, So I've Been Really Cold My Entire Life. Most Of My Memories Are Coloured By The Fact That I Was Really Cold, Just... All The Time!

I Think One Of The Reasons I'm Successful As A Musician Is That The First Like 30 Shows I Played, I Played With No Monitors Standing In Front Of Guitar Amps In A Shitty, Smoky Warehouse Where People Were Screaming And Wasted, Knocking Over My Gear. So Shows After That Seem Pretty Easy!

There Aren't Many Other Labels Who I Can Say Are That Successful, And Can Give Me As Much As 4ad Gives Me, And Still Have Such A Great Roster.

I Just Can't Perform Well Unless I'm Wearing Jeans.

When I'm Making Something I Need It To Be Catchy - I Need It To Hit The Sweet Spot.
