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

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

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

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?
