I don't necessarily love all the collaborations that I've done; the more I work with other people, the more I realize that I want to work with myself.

I don't love all hip-hop, but I do relate to stuff like early Nas, 2Pac, Biggie, and MF Doom because they're also trying to escape a scenario.

I don't think Neil Young has a beautiful voice but it's something that grabs you and the songs are so good.

I want to do a stripped-down album. That style is actually where my heart is - storytelling and just letting the voice and the lyrics talk for themselves. I still want to write the perfect song and sing it in the most honest, undressed way. But I feel like I have to gather more experiences and more layers in my voice. I have to live more to be able to tell this tale. So I'm saving my folk record. I have a feeling nobody will understand it.

I want to get my music out there. I enjoy playing shows; I just don't enjoy airports. I want to be more creative, but it's hard to get into that zone on tour.

People comment on how you look, it's so unnecessary. I just wanted people to listen to what I have to say instead of focusing on anything else.

I'm from Sweden so I don't enjoy winter at all; there's nothing cute about it.
