I'm obsessed with voices in film. I have this memory of how people say words, even on the most intensely stupid reality TV show.

I'm not trying to be a solution or create a freer, utopian world. I think my music dreams of it, though.

I'm not in any way trying to make statements that are not also invaded by emotions and abstract ideas that I don't really understand myself. It's more interesting when I can do that.

I've studied film a lot, so I know much more about film than music, but I don't think I could have made films.

I've always been so interested in the way the body feels when singing or being on stage, or being in the audience for that matter. It doesn't have to be the typical "rock" experience. It can be so much more.

Norway's a very gender-aware country, and we're very liberal. There are lots of women's voices being heard here compared to many other countries.

I took interest in Paris Hilton at one point and got fascinated with her voice.
