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 inspired by that rawness in very direct communication. My work is not meant to keep people happy or give them an escape.

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

I'm obsessed with voices in film. I have this memory of how people say words, even on the most intensely stupid reality TV show.

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.

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'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.
