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

I think to find an escape route out of a music industry that is becoming more and more focused on making money.

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 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.

I had so many songs that were actually sort of finished. And I deleted them. I wrote on my website that I'd put them on the shelf, but that wasn't true. I actually deleted them from my computer. I got sort of trigger-happy and I think I deleted about 200 songs from my computer.

I didn't have a home in the world, so I wanted a home in a person. I felt like I had found that, and then it was taken away from me.
