David Bowie

You would think that a rock star being married to a supermodel would be one of the greatest things in the world. It is. ”

Fame itself... doesn't really afford you anything more than a good seat in a restaurant. ”

As an adolescent, I was painfully shy, withdrawn. I didn't really have the nerve to sing my songs on stage, and nobody else was doing them. I decided to do them in disguise so that I didn't have to actually go through the humiliation of going on stage and being myself. ”

GYBE are among my, erm, two favourite Montreal bands, Arcade Fire being the other. ”

All Montreal bands have around nine members, I believe. ”

I knew that I was 'interesting' at 18 because I was aware that I could get away with doing things on stage. ”

I'm wallowing in the whole idea of just being a guy out there with a band, with songs. It's a real enjoyment. ”

Being a hybrid maker off and on over the years, I'm very comfortable with the idea and have been the subject of quite a few pretty good mash-ups myself. ”

I don't crave applause. I'm not one of those guys who comes alive on stage. I'm much more alive at home, I think. ”

From my standpoint, being an artist, I want to see what the new construction is between artist and audience. ”
