Family and friends always need to be bigger than your music career, and in that sense, your music will be bigger because you respect your family and your friends more.

Sometimes it's not like I write very specific, it's more like I add an atmosphere almost to something that might have been quite awkward in my mind from the beginning. Something has happened and I want to force myself to think of it in a more positive way. And then I force myself to write something that convinces me that this is actually something pretty good or something that I learned something valuable from.

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 had a period in my life when I was eight or nine when I was so scared of dying that I wouldn't go out of our house for a whole year.

I'm not too fond of the typical Australian activities or culture. I'm not into surfing.

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

I love a lot of old disco because it's aerodynamic, smooth, and very seductive.
