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

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.

I work with really cool people, and so far I haven't been approached in any embarrassing manner when it comes to image.

History shows us that the songs - the myth, the experience and the emotion - live longer the less you explain.

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

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

Sometimes you make a record that is what you want to hear. I've made a couple of those, idealized creations of what I wanted to hear. Then there are records that are what you feel.
