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 am such a complex person. I have so many different layers of my personality to choose from. I am super-sensitive, and I am super-strong.

I want people to have a good time. Its boring only to hear singer/songwriters spilling their guts.

I had to do this album. I tried thinking, "I'm not going to do it." But then I'm sitting there getting all suicidal and depressed, and I just start writing. It's like this inner drive. If I could choose, I would probably be living in the countryside and be fine with that, but I'm not.

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

The key to a good life is finding things that you want to master.

I was inspired by [Michelangelo] Antonioni's Red Desert - very big and moody.
