Running is very rhythmic, and I have written a lot of lyrics while out running. It's a very musical exercise, and sometimes I like to sing when I run. Your whole body is doing the same thing.
We're just here to put on a great musical show and I think any social or political issues are secondary, although very important, because it is a music festival first and foremost,
Mother can't you see I've got to live my life the way I feel is right for me might not be right for you but it's right for me...
We plan to have three years and try not to repeat artists in the same marketplaces. I have a hard time thinking of what's going be going on next week, much less two years from now. We're going to sit down after '99 and reassess things, probably take a year off.
There's nothing particularly unique about my experiences except that they're my experiences.
I'm not online. I'm not on Facebook much. I don't connect that way.
I'm a bit of a perfectionist, and I want to give 100 percent to everything.
Having the opportunity to express myself through music has been extremely cathartic for me my entire life.
I can look back over my earlier music, and it takes me back to the place I was emotionally.
I'll talk to any stranger about everything. I'm not guarded.
I'll answer anything... I'm brutally honest, actually, which gets me in trouble.
If I had to pick one song for me that sort of quintessentially summed me up, it would be 'Angel.' Without fail, I absolutely love singing it.
The first gig we ever played was in Halifax, Nova Scotia, where I'm from. I was in a band called the October Game, and we opened up for a Vancouver band.
I'd much rather be in the expanse of the wilderness because it feels like part of my world. It's a unique perspective. You're this tiny speck in a huge environment, and it's nice to be reminded of that.
