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

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.

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.

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.
