I couldn't even have a guitar. But I got a three-track recorder that was so small that I could take it with me. Then I started recording and writing properly. I recorded lots of voices, not just my own. I was interested in people speaking and singing English and trying out words.

I'm very interested in the visual world because I'm also very interested in feminism. I find that the world of watching takes us into the most psychotic state of, like, "You are this one person, but you have to become another person to see these images."

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