men strive better-man
There's nothing better than striving to be a better man.
song men gun
What would I say about "Heaven Without a Gun"? For me, to have this man, and our friendship [ with Andy Kim] grew really slowly and very consistently throughout the years before we decided to get into a studio together, I wasn't sure if he wanted to do songs that were pre-written or what. We didn't know what we were getting into.
song writing men
I had never really written songs for anyone before. With [Broken] Social Scene, you're writing songs for others and your passing them around and exchanging things, but for a man who has the history that Andy Kim had, and has lived the life that he's had, you see such a youthful aspect of how he just wanted to create something again.
believe responsibility men
Rules are what governs us as humans, but it was wonderful to meet a man who said "There are no rules. You gotta be what you gotta be and you gotta believe in it." I know that's a feeling I used to feel a lot at a younger age, and through the sense of responsibility and working with so many and taking on so many duties and actions, you lose if you don't stay on top of it. So that's what I love about this man, that there are no rules.

Thank you so very, very much. Look at us all. We're an army.
difficult personal record time
At the time it was all very personal a very, very difficult record to finish. It was a frustrating time.
absurd honest
I thought it was absurd to take all this music. But it's a really honest film.
absolutely canadian idol kids remember sorry three
I feel really sorry for those kids in Canadian Idol , 'cause they're going absolutely nowhere. I think it's a trick. . . . In three years no one's going to remember them.
army ladies
We're an army, ladies and gentlemen. We're an army of friends.
We didn't want to come out swinging. We wanted to come out sliding.
albums beautiful confused handed love people record truly understand within
When we handed this record in, it confused a lot of people, even within the band. That's what I love about it -- I just find it this big, beautiful mess. Sometimes, albums should be experiments, and people who truly understand us know that's all we were doing from the get-go.
gotten smaller
I think things should have gotten a lot smaller years ago.
idol remember three
In three years no one is going to remember (the Idol singers).
