After years of making wrong decisions in my life, in 1977 I found out that it was all right to be square, simple, and sober.
My parents were married my whole life until my father passed away a few years ago.
I had a very difficult relationship with my father, which ended up okay, but there were many difficult years.
They developed a platform for me to put up another 12 years, and that was my ticket to Cooperstown. Those were the best years of my life. It was like magic.
The first years of my life in the U.S. were very difficult.
For the last 12 years, I've felt really privileged to be living such a normal life. It's so a part of who I am.
Music has been so healing in my life, so the fact that my music could be that for someone else is the best gift of my whole career. People have told me that they got married to my music, divorced to my music, and played my music while they were having their baby.
I'm at that point in my life where I definitely want to get married soon. I've got my dogs as surrogates, but I'm ready for kids.
For 20 years I've had the privilege of representing Canada around the globe... first on the bike and then on my blades. The experiences have shaped me into who I am today.
