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.

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

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

Sometimes, you can't seem to find any song on the radio that you like.

I have this idealistic and maybe naive thought that almost any song can be anything. If you record one song today, it would maybe be exciting and cool. But I could record the same song next week and it would be something completely different.

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

I started trying to write songs when I was 8 or 9 years old.
