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 feel it's so important to have strong women around you.

In every person's life, around 27 to 29 years old, the stars and the planets align themselves to exactly the way they were when you were born. You're faced with yourself. There's no running away.

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.

Do you have to have emotional turmoil to create music? I'm not sure because I've never been without it

It's not a very sane thing to try to be great all the time.

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

I hung out with some crazy desert people. One guy was just walking around with only shorts on - he'd been walking with bare feet for the last two years. He was totally scarred and eating on all fours like a dog.

I probably thought that about most of the things I did. But you wind up in situations where you have to make decisions very quickly, and you just go for it a lot of the time.

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.

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

Life is greater when I'm dealing with something than when I'm just dreaming away.

You can't stay in the desert, you go nuts after 24 hours.
