I have an identity crisis which is not resolved because I’m a dual citizen. My whole family is American, and I was born in India but I was raised in Canada. But all my extended family is American, I’ve held an American passport and I’ve spent my whole adult life in between New York and LA. So I feel like an American… and I also feel like a Canadian! I wish more people were dual citizens and then I wouldn’t feel like such a freak.

They watch cartoons and sit in front of the television and their parents are just probably yuppies who focus their entire lives around the child. The child has no sense of context, no sense of what world they are inhabiting-just like this Disnified bag of Cheerios reality. Don’t give them a @#$%& pill! God! Take them out on a canoe already! You know what I mean?

I really love traveling, I love playing.

I see how 14-year old girls react to me and I think I’m a good role model. Rockstar maybe not, but I’m willing to play with it for a little while, until my hair gets gray.

I think every musician is different, every artist is different, and in a perfect world people would be able to pursue their own path and have the inspiration and the drive to, and the energy and dedication to take their path to its fruition. I don’t really believe in formulas.
