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

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 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.

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.

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 obsessed with voices in film. I have this memory of how people say words, even on the most intensely stupid reality TV show.
