I like the idea of helping people help people.

I always knew I’d be in music in some sort of capacity. I didn’t know if I’d be successful at it, but I knew I’d be doing something in it. Maybe get a job in...

I’m amazed every time I come back to Vancouver at how much it’s changed. You go away for a month and there’s three more skyscrapers.

I am really looking forward to returning to Dubai as always. The audiences are always receptive to my music and Dubai as a city never ceases to amaze me … it is constantly changing.

To be a celebrity, I couldn’t think of anything more cringe-worthy.

If the bag had, in fact, contained the explosive device that was anticipated, the bomb could have detonated several times over in the hour that the bag sat there.

I need to be able to rock out.

It’s a very funny play. The music is just tremendous; it’s a comedy with opera mixed in.

I’m not afraid of being thought of as someone who is associated with film music. Why not? If it’s a good song, what does it matter?

I’m working on a new album. I’ve written 30 songs, five of those are good, and three I really love.

I remember being in Hollywood at the age of 16 and marveling at the stars. The idea of being part of it never entered my mind. It was too far-fetched.
