I am a proud Montrealer. Jobs will take me where they take me, but nothing will ever be able to convince me to leave my home.

My relationship and the bond with the people in Montreal was kind of special and doesn't happen very often.

There used to be a lot of industry in Montreal, and now there's not, so it's really easy to get huge, empty spaces where you can practice and make music or make art for very, very cheap.

I was born in Montreal and came from a lower-middle-class family.

No, I love Montreal... I think I love Montreal more than Montreal loves me... I love the food there.

Montreal is a very cosmopolitan, sophisticated, erudite, educated, glorious city today. But it wasn't quite that way when I was growing up there. There was a lot of anti-Semitism. And I had to deal with that in an area of the city that had very few Jews.

I grew up in a town called Cornwall, Ontario, which is about an hour outside of Montreal.

If it were up to me, every job would be somewhere in Canada.
