After you've been wounded a few times, it's hard to let somebody get that deep again.

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

I'm not so interested in being indie just for the sake of being indie.

It's not a very sane thing to try to be great all the time. You want to make something magical; you want to make something wonderful; you want to give to everybody; you want to heal people; you want to still be inspired. That's not easy.

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

I hate the fact you always feel like you have to be going somewhere, like the end destination is to be finished, or to be happy. But the truth is a lot of us are completely lost, and we don’t know, and that is also a state of mind, to not know who you are and where you’re going.

I'm a really restless person; I'm tired of the way I sounded or looked yesterday. So it's hard to hang onto this image of me as this young Swedish female in this world.
