I was 21 and homeless - such a broken, lost woman.

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

I can cry myself to sleep because I'm not as great as Leonard Cohen, but who cares? Maybe you can't be as great as some people, but it's a tragedy when you don't follow your dreams.

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.

Sometimes women are so great and powerful, but then they surrender to these vain things. They kind of fall for it.
