I don't particularly enjoy standing alone and recording my own voice or my own stuff. It's sometimes fun to do for demos and stuff, but I really enjoy the social act of recording records, because writing it is so lonely. And it has to be.

I sometimes try to write something that is actually really simple and I can't do it. So, then, it's not simple anymore. It's really hard and it gets all messed up. I sometimes sit down and try to write a song with just three chords and it doesn't work.

I usually enter the studio with a mix of songs that I've been listening to that are relevant to the sound I want to achieve.

You know, I play in small, intimate venues; I'm not an arena performer.

I've come more to terms with the fact that I sound like myself. No matter what I do, I sound like myself.

There's a lot of crappy music that people like, you know, all over the world, and Norway is definitely not an exception.
