"I feel so much happier than I did when I was younger. I feel like I maybe can stop being always so self-deprecating and relentlessly Canadian and stop with the “I’m so sorry that we’re getting popular. I’m so sorry that people like us. I’m so sorry that this record is bigger than the last one”….like, fuck, I just– I hate when I hear myself sounding like that. It’s like, just shut up already! You want to fucking write an anthem record, just write it! Just shut up about it. It’s like a weight off my chest, like now I just want to make the best record that we could make and I want it to be undeniable and if people love it then thank God, and if they don’t, we’ll, we’ll go back to the drawing board."
