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 remember being very, very aware of gender when I was really young. Not necessarily in a bad way. Maybe it's a little bit because I'm Norwegian and how I've been brought up.

On an emotional level, I don't want to be a guide. I want people to hear things and experience them their own way.

I'm always going back and forth between wanting to do stuff that's abstract and stuff that's just telling everybody to listen.

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.

When you're outside of genre, you can expose more vulnerability.

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