There are different types of love, and my love for my child is like me and my mum. We've gone through a lot of rocky patches, but we never stop loving.
I see a lot of connections between folk and punk music just because they're both subcorporate music - I mean, traditionally.
I had to learn a lot on 'Victorious' because I had never done multi-camera before. It's like music: You need to be on it, and there's no room for subtleties.
I like the guitar-driven music of Nirvana at its peak. At that point, I thought there was a lot of really exciting music coming out.
There are a lot of bands who claim to be punk and they only play the music, they have no clue what it's all about. It's a lifestyle. It's not about popularity and all that crap.
A lot of my music that I like puts energy in your body or makes you want to dance or break something or just go mosh or jump around.
Well, Winnepeg has everything to do with my music in the sense it was where I was born and raised, cultured and all that sort of thing. A lot of my experiences come from Winnepeg.
Music and dance influence my style in a lot of ways. Sometimes I go off to work dressed up like I'm going to hit the stage and perform.
My parents listened to a lot of music when I was really little. They used to listen to people like Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder and I used to be really into that.
I try to do things that keep me interested. And play music that moves me. I like to move around and play in a lot of different ways.
Music is so therapeutic for me that if I can't get it out, I start feeling bad about myself - a lot of self-loathing.
With my music, I can express myself so much. A lot of the fans can sense that I'm relating to them something that's quite personal.
You get a lot of who you are as a musician across through the music you write. If you're writing your own music, then it's important to be really honest.
I get to play with all these different players who don't necessarily approach music always the same way that I might. So I learn a lot.
I try to listen to a lot of music when I'm in the mixing process of a record, when I'm in post-production and trying to get everything to sound a certain way.
Anyone who has that weird volition to become an actor probably has a weird volition to do lots of other creative things - to write, to play music, to paint, to cook.
I don't have a very 'masculine' taste in music. I get a lot of heat from my friends about that.
But in those days - in the mid-'50s, early '60s - there was less than 300 radio stations that were playing country music and a lot of that wasn't full time.
But still as compared to many, many orchestras in the world, I think you find a lot more new music and living composers on our programs than many other places.
I have Aboriginal roots on my father's side, and have always indentified with that spirit. I feel a lot of my music comes from that place.
Let me tell you, sisters, seeing dried egg on a plate in the morning is a lot dirtier than anything I've had to deal with in politics.
