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

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.

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

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