I've always gravitated naturally towards a little bit of a heavier thing, having been in punk bands and metal bands before I ever got into pop.
I'd love to develop a game and make the music for it. I'd love to do something based on Captain Lights. Who knows if that'll ever happen, but I'd love to do it.
Since becoming a mother, I'd say it's more so affected my general outlook on things. I'm less worried about everything. Less scared to make those numbers that people think are standard or less scared to create something that maybe I don't think people are going to like, because it's all about if I like it. I need to be happy.
If you do enough things, you're going to eventually narrow it down to the things that really make you happy.
We're all in different scenarios, we all make mistakes, we all break stuff, but we're not perfect, we couldn't [be] - it doesn't matter what you build.
All the collaborations that I've done that I'm really proud of with a lot of incredible Canadian artists and beyond, that's when art comes together and becomes something really special.
It doesn't matter if you have something greater to say per say, just enjoy what you're doing.
I think that once you go through childbirth, you can do anything. It's like Wow! I can conquer the world now!
That's the beauty of music, art, and video games: forget about your worries for a few minutes; it shouldn't add to them or make you feel worried or sad: it should make you feel good.
Sometimes hate hurts more than love feels good. Just have to realize it's because we're more used to love. Let the haters stumble by.
It's very important to have a good song - one where you can strip away all the production and just play it on guitar or at the piano. It has to hold its own. That's why I've put videos online with acoustic versions of my songs, so you can hear them in their original form.
You grow into everything you hate about yourself, over time.
I'm such a fan of anime and manga to this day, but I never really like got to know all the characters and everything, so I don't think I'd be able to pick one.
The downs are the times when you lose sight of who you are and that happens along the way sometimes...Writer's block when you doubt yourself and you get insecure.
So acoustic, I don't even need a pick.
Sitting in a studio with Oli [Sykes], or going back and forth with Adam [Young] on his tracks, it's so much more fun than something really structured and put together.
As far as depths of geekiness... I have more friends in World of Warcraft than I do in real life!
I'll play for a couple of hours and then before you know it, it's time to go on stage. It takes away any nervousness and anxiety I might have about the big crowd out there.
I'm more of a fan of combat games than first-person shooters.
My hair's actually really thin, but I just throw some hairspray into it and make sure it's been a couple days dirty, and then it goes the direction that you want it, literally!
I collect Wonder Woman - from comics to paraphernalia, and I even have a tattoo of her on my back. I'm a huge Wonder Woman fan!
It's the coolest feeling signing your record. And it's great when people come to your shows and know the words to the new songs.
I think a lot of people feel like they need other people to help identify themselves, whether that's friends or relationships or whatever that may be. But it's you who identifies yourself and you need to take time to do that.
I was getting really influenced by some darker, heavier electro stuff, like Crystal Castles. And I was listening to some dub-step elements, so I thought this was going to be the natural progression, taking my soft melodies and my soft voice and marrying it with something a little heavier.
I think that songwriting is understood from an early age that was the priority to figure out first. Learn to write a good song, and then figure out who you are as an artist because, once you know how to write a good song, you can dress it in any kind of clothing.
