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.

When I write stuff that's provocative, I want people to think about that, too. I'm in between a pop musician and an artist in that way. I want people to be part of the music as they listen, but I also want them to think: What was that?

I've never been good at being nostalgic, and I've never been able to focus on sound without having a voice that's very here-and-now.

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.

I've always been a fan of reading art catalogues from exhibitions, and plays, and I've worked with a surrealist German playwright, Heiner Müller.

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 very interested in the visual world because I'm also very interested in feminism. I find that the world of watching takes us into the most psychotic state of, like, "You are this one person, but you have to become another person to see these images."
