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 went through various phases of different accents - I get ridiculously obsessed with different accents, different regional ways of using the voice, different types of singing. It's all tied together. Speaking is a kind of singing, as are crying and laughing.

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.

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