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.

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'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 got really interested in the language used in blogs written by young girls - a young person's aggression, which is always lacking from the visual world.

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 really hated being the Norwegian girl in every single conversation in Australia, so I tried to make my Norwegian-ness invisible, speaking like whoever was around me.
