I Can't Censor Myself; It's Really Important

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.

Lately I've Been Really Into Screaming A Lot Through Delay [effects], Having Seven People On Stage Topless Going Crazy, Stuff Like That. Really In Your Face, But Maybe More Organic Than Choreographed Dance Moves.

It Takes Me Probably About Four Hours To Get Into The Groove [with Making Music]. And It's Really Important For Me To Not Break The Groove.

I Believe The Human Mind Is A Very Fallible Thing, But It's The Only Thing That I Can Really Know, I Guess.

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.
