Most things in life come as a surprise.

I love listening to demos. They're so raw.

I was 21 and homeless - such a broken, lost woman.

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

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

I will grab any opportunity I can to learn something new.

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

I wanted to create something really aggressive and psychedelic

I always strive for freedom: freedom of thought and expression.

I'm interested in a lot of different sounds and types of music.

I believe life's too short for compromises and bad fitting jeans

I know that I'm dealing with some kind of wound through my music.

The key to a good life is finding things that you want to master.

Of course, there are a lot of things I'm angry about in the world.

I will never get to Lady Gaga's status. That's not something I want.

I'm not so interested in being indie just for the sake of being indie.

I lived five years in Portugal and then spent winters in Nepal or India.

Being on tour really takes a toll, so you have to find ways to stay healthy.

During the day, I don't wear much makeup; I only put on makeup for the show.

I was inspired by [Michelangelo] Antonioni's Red Desert - very big and moody.

I'm from Sweden so I don't enjoy winter at all; there's nothing cute about it.

I'm from Sweden, so I don't enjoy winter at all; there's nothing cute about it.

If anything, I want to be seen as a singer-songwriter rather than a pop artist.

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

Еhe older you get, the more baggage you have, and the harder it is to just split.

After you've been wounded a few times, it's hard to let somebody get that deep again.

I don't feel Swedish. In fact, my father tells me to get out of here as soon as I can.

I do it live on tape with a band. It's not like I'm doing electronic music with a laptop.

I'm actually a really shy person. I just really enjoy being in studio; I don't go out much.

I'll always be in some type of turmoil. So what I've tried to do is just surrender to that.

It's the ultimate task to do something stripped back, so you're not hiding behind anything.

I've always been a person that is searching for truth and always wants to go further, deeper.

I dove into the craziness and did things that maybe I would think twice about when I get older.

Sometimes when I write songs, I don't know what they're about, and it just suddenly comes to me.

I want people to have a good time. Its boring only to hear singer/songwriters spilling their guts.

I honestly kind of hate shopping. My favorite places to shop are rich old lady consignment stores.

I don't live anywhere. I have always dreamed of moving out of my country because Sweden is boring.

I felt such a deep connection with dolphins. I felt like they were the only ones who understood me.

Mum is a photographer, and Dad does world music and plays almost every instrument except for drums.

I want people to have a good time. It's boring only to hear singer/songwriters spilling their guts.

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

I'm a very melancholic kind of person. I don't know why; I think certain people are born a certain way.

It's important that the way you dress tells a story and reveals something about you and your philosophy.

I relate to hustlers who want to get out of where they are and create something different for themselves.

I'm looking forward to some peace and quiet. I fantasize about having a home, which I've kind of never had.

I don't think Neil Young has a beautiful voice but it's something that grabs you and the songs are so good.

The profession I have keeps dragging me into drama and taking me away from baking, flowering and gardening.

There's more discomfort being an old soul or a person who questions a lot of things. I'm young, but I'm old.

If you're being ignored, that's a good time to concentrate on finding yourself and creating your own mystery.

I don't want to break someone's heart, but you can't control that. A broken heart happens; that's inevitable.
