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.

I think I've been a bit misunderstood; the first record was more timid than I wanted it to be. I don't like getting pinned down by sex or how I sound like because it's not who I am or what I want to be.

Do you have to have emotional turmoil to create music? I'm not sure because I've never been without it

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

I was totally romanticizing the idea of Los Angeles when the Doors, Joni Mitchell, and Neil Young were hanging out there.

It would be amazing if people listened to it when they needed shelter; it would be lovely if they didn't spit on it.

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.
