I do it live on tape with a band. It's not like I'm doing electronic music with a laptop.

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.

I hung out with some crazy desert people. One guy was just walking around with only shorts on - he'd been walking with bare feet for the last two years. He was totally scarred and eating on all fours like a dog.

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

I feel it's so important to have strong women around you.

I'm a girl from Sweden. I took a lot of risks and went to New York by myself when I was 19 just because I read about it in a few books. I came here knowing nobody, having no money, and now I'm doing all these things like making records and videos every day.

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