- When I started working on my own music, I didn't have the chance to record in a big music studio, so I had to record everything myself.
- Feelings such as loneliness, longing or love are sometimes hard to put into words; maybe that's why we all love music, because it resonates with something we can't share.
- I love Denmark. But it is a very safe place, and it is easy to let the state look after everything for you.
- The best thing about Berlin was that I got to be surrounded by people who pursue their ideas for themselves.
- I really believe it's not bad to look back within music. I don't mean retro, but using your own memories to make a song because our memories are what make us who we are.
