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 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 not trying to be a solution or create a freer, utopian world. I think my music dreams of it, though.

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.

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.
