I Don't Want To Have To Compromise

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.

There Aren't Many Other Labels Who I Can Say Are That Successful, And Can Give Me As Much As 4ad Gives Me, And Still Have Such A Great Roster.

I Just Can't Perform Well Unless I'm Wearing Jeans.

Even Though I Really Admire What Beyonce Does, And She's Probably Got One Of The Best Live Shows In The World - Honestly! - That's So Not My Style.

If You Look At The Way People Behave At Shows, Icons Are Now Musicians; They Are The People That We Worship.
