I think the cynicism that you have when you've just gone through a break-up is a luxury that you allow yourself for a while.

I must admit that it seems like my mind really reconstructs some things, and in a very - I just know that it seems like some things are not as I remembered them when I do some investigation.

I kind of like polishing the songs that I'm working on. I'm really working hard on some specific songs.

When I went through the break-up, I really looked for some kind of music, or art or literature that could say, "I've been in the same situation." I couldn't find anything at the moment, and that made me really sad.

I hate when songwriters refer to their songs as babies.

I lived in a suitcase for a year, and then a relationship brought me to New York for about four months, then I lived in Melbourne. Then I moved back to Gothenburg because the immigrant laws are strict for both Australia and the U.S., and I would have to marry someone to get into those countries. But I wouldn't really be able to get involved in a sham marriage without being able to tell anyone about it.

I think all of my songs are either based on personal experience or will be based on personal experience, because I do write a lot of songs prophetically.
