I really hated being the Norwegian girl in every single conversation in Australia, so I tried to make my Norwegian-ness invisible, speaking like whoever was around me.

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.

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

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

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