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."

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.

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 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 studied film a lot, so I know much more about film than music, but I don't think I could have made films.

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

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.
