My greatest strength as a child I realize now was my imagination. While every other kid was reading and writing I had seven whole hours a day to practice my imagination. When do you get that space in your life ever?
To regard the imagination as metaphysics is to think of it as part of life and to think of it as part of life is to realize the extent of artifice. We live in the mind.
But it was this tough little character part that I was playing a very funny little guy that I invented over a weekend because I realized I was not contributing to the humor of this thing. And I had to do something.
One of my pet peeves is that sometimes the talents of my band get overlooked because and it was the same problem that Frank Zappa had with a lot of groups that use humor people don't realize there's a lot of craft behind the comedy.
I realized women and humor were linked very closely.
Humor is such a wonderful thing helping you realize what a fool you are but how beautiful that is at the same time.
I realize that humor isn't for everyone. It's only for people who want to have fun enjoy life and feel alive.
I was sort of in denial about doing country for awhile but I sort of grew up and realized who I was what I wanted to say. I think country music is the best music in the world and I'm glad to be doing a country album. I hope people will love it as much as I loved making it.
My great hope would be that Quebec would realize itself fully as a distinct part of Canada and stay Canadian bringing to Canada a part of its richness.
Teachers have a chance to mold someone inspire them. I hope all teachers realize that.
What makes me sad about school is that the people who are unhappy are unhappy because they don't believe it will change. And I just want to say: 'It does! High school ends and it's over.' I will tell anyone that it's OK to be unhappy at school make lots of mistakes and then it will be over.
