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

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've always been a fan of reading art catalogues from exhibitions, and plays, and I've worked with a surrealist German playwright, Heiner Müller.

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