With the help of modern technology, I can compose intricate keyboard parts and then I have to go back and learn them in order to perform them properly.

With me, satisfaction is always very fleeting with our work. I always get a little restless with it.

When I usually go to my studio to work, I start with something that is going to take two minutes just to put some idea down and the next thing I know, ten hours have gone by and my family is screaming at me because they want me to come up to have dinner with them.

I do love using keyboards and I love writing keyboard parts, but I am not a player in the true sense of the word.

I liked the fact that I was forced to get inside of my emotions and to really try to figure out a lot of what I was going through.

I like to practice on the bass, but I don't do it as often as I should.

I like to be able to come and go as I please, and I don't really like having my face and name plastered around. I think it's a bit weird to have your name plastered on every page in a magazine, where in each case you're using a different piece of equipment.

I have such an extreme attitude about work, where I can just completely be derelict of my responsibilities and then when I am not derelict, I am completely indulged in it. I swing pretty wildly from the two extremes.

I have a lot of hobbies and I can be very remiss in reminding myself to go down to the basement to work.

I guess, we were people who just dedicated to trying to get better.

I love to write. It's my first love.

I am moved more by melodies, song structure, and evocative textures.

For me, there is a lot of room for improvement and there are a lot of things I would like to be better at.

For me, how I feel about what I wrote down turns into a song.

First of all, when you live in a country like Canada, it's quite different from America in the sense that it's very tied to traditions that were born in Britain.
