I Just Watched Another Person

I Would Never Go To A Studio. I Need My Space, You Know What I Mean? I Need To Be Able To Chain Smoke And Pace About, Cry And Like... Spit. Just Make Noise, Make A Huge Mess. I Also Feel Like If I Was Concerned For The Cost Of The Studio - Like, 'this Is Costing 40 Dollars An Hour' - I Wouldn't Be Able To Work.

I Know Texture Is Really Important, But I Think Texture And Stuff Precedes Songwriting A Lot Of The Time These Days.

Sometimes You Find People Who Are Magnetic, But Once They Get In Front Of A Camera, They Freak Out And Get Weird.

One Thing With Montreal Is It's So Cold And Everyone's So Poor And Beer's So Cheap: If You Go To A Show You Have To Brave The Weather To Get There. So You Show Up And Everyone's Soaking Wet - There's A Sense Of 'i Trekked Through Three Feet Of Snow To Get Here!' I Think There's A Kind Of Camaraderie That Arises Out Of That, That's Important To Me As Well.

I Think You Can Hear, When You Listen To Someone's Music, Whether Or Not They're Enjoying Making It - It's So Great To Hear Music Where You Can Tell The Person Making It Was Just Having A Blast. That's Really Important To Me As Far As My Process Goes. That's Probably Why My Music Ends Up Being So Poppy!
