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

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

Life is greater when I'm dealing with something than when I'm just dreaming away.

I probably thought that about most of the things I did. But you wind up in situations where you have to make decisions very quickly, and you just go for it a lot of the time.

Of course, there are a lot of things I'm angry about in the world.

I had a period after touring the first record where I didn't agree with the way things worked in the music industry as far as how you release music, demand, the pace of everything. You don't know who's talking to you. Who's Spotify? Who's iTunes? Who are all those bloggers? Who says I have to do this? Why do you have to do all this press? Why do I have to do so many shows? Why do I have to do a regular album right now? I don't understand it.

I was 19 when I recorded my first album, and I've been exposed to many things during these last few years; all the baby fat is gone.
