Driving, for me, means power and freedom. The feeling that I can go anywhere I want at any time is exhilarating.

It's not a very sane thing to try to be great all the time. You want to make something magical you want to make something wonderful you want to give to everybody you want to heal people you want to still be inspired. That's not easy.

Los Angeles is such a mysterious place because there's so much evil in that city, but there's also so much light. You can be totally alone on a hillside and I love that kind of secluded, deserted rawness.

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 was going on this desert adventure with some friends and we were like, How amazing would it be to just drag all these mirrors out there? A lot of times I do things as an impulse and find out my inspirations afterward. Even with songs and lyrics, it can take me years to find out what I was actually trying to do.

I'm really depressing. Some people watch comedy to relax. I watch 21 Grams. I can recognize sadness and tragedy really easily because it's been with me forever.

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

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.
