Quote

[ on regularly performing at the Juno Awards] Any time you're faced with repetition, the creative side of you can't help but jump out. Every year I wonder, 'This time, can we light something on fire?' I'll ask them every time if I can light my piano on fire.

I've discovered that, well I guess I've always gotten bored very easily, but I think there's definitely a large part of touring is that battle against boredom and I think for me I've just realized that I'll do anything to not be bored, anything, anything at all.
