From an early age, I knew I would be unhappy if I wasn't doing something creative.
I need to be able to work for 20 or 30 hours in one go in complete darkness, alone with just the computer glow.
I like going crazy. And not just for art - I like extremes in general.
I think if you're good at art, you'll be good at most types of art.
I'm not interested in making art unless I'm totally freaked out and worried people are going to hate it.
It's obviously funny to be a meme, so I could be down with it in that regard, but it also belittles one's art.
There used to be a lot of industry in Montreal, and now there's not, so it's really easy to get huge, empty spaces where you can practice and make music or make art for very, very cheap.
I went through my adolescence having this revelatory experience - I can have any music I want, and I can get it immediately. For me and for a lot of people I know, there's this musical eclecticism that happened.
I like creating beauty out of scary things.
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'm sad that it's uncool or offensive to talk about environmental or human rights issues.
The most valuable live thing for me is when people look like they're having a good time.
I feel like vocals are to music what portraits are to painting. They're the humanity. Landscapes are good and fine, but at the end of the day everyone loves the Mona Lisa.
I'm not good at being, like, a sexy girl.
There are a lot of musicians I've met on Twitter where it was like, 'Hey, I like your music' - and then I ended up meeting them and it turned into a friendship.
The thing about music is it's not an obscure pursuit, it's a very natural thing for human beings to do. Once you put in the effort, the learning curve is very fast.
I love a lot of very sentimental music, but I shouldn't necessarily be the person who makes it.
I truly love 'Gangnam Style.' I guess it's a meme. I feel like it's one of the few times where the meme and the quality combines nicely.
I believe the human mind is a very fallible thing, but it's the only thing that I can really know, I guess.
I was incredibly unpopular in high school but also extremely notorious.
