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

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.

On an emotional level, I don't want to be a guide. I want people to hear things and experience them their own way.

When I write stuff that's provocative, I want people to think about that, too. I'm in between a pop musician and an artist in that way. I want people to be part of the music as they listen, but I also want them to think: What was that?
