The best pop songs are the ones that show that person's personality. It's harder to do those singles because the stars, moon and sun have to align and the audience have to be ready, but it's worth waiting for it.

It's funny, I really feel like I've learned a lot in my career but I still feel like a child. Like, an 11-year-old? I think it will be like that all my life, actually.

I've always really liked the idea of an artist name, like a cover-up, even though in my music I'm being very personal in the stuff that I write about.

It's so important that you are constantly moving. And when things are hard, it will just make you fight harder - that's what you need to develop as a person, I think.

I think the most radical thing you can do is be yourself.

I was a trouble teenager. I was uncontrollable, but I haven't done anything that I'm not proud of.

When I'm in a session with someone I don't know, I like hanging out for a moment and talking and seeing if we can find some similarities in whatever conversation we're having. The best thing is when you just go for it - just do something that feels good and makes you feel free in the moment.

I really like FKA twigs. She's wonderful. She's so cool. Like, insanely cool.

I love a kind of androgynous look and then let the accessories / clothes shape it.

In Denmark we're so privileged. You get money to study, you get money if you're sick and you get money if your hand hurts. It's hard to be critical of people who are sick getting money, but in Denmark everyone gets money thrown at them and it makes them lazy.

I think everyone grew up thinking that by their mid-20s they'd have everything sorted out, but I know I don't.

I love Duolingo. I'm learning Spanish on it, and it's such a good way to pass time on flights or the bus.

There's so much talk about female artists doing their own thing but being super supportive, coming together and doing projects together. I love that whole wave.

You start off at an early age dreaming about love, but you have no idea how it will be.

You get very inspired on tour.

I love to watch people not care too much about the choreography, or if they sing perfectly, or if the right label people are there to watch them. It's just about letting go and being crazy and engaging people in dance and madness - being a human instead of a doll.

I think it's to do what's important to you, and having a lot of people - hopefully - listening to your work. It also involves being a credible artist, and being able to reach out to those who will buy into it for some other reason. But on a more personal level, success comes from having many close and strong relationships.

I've always wanted to make songs.

Linking With You' is about being in love with somebody and obsessing about 'playing the game' right.

The songs I write are about how I feel and the vibe I'm in. So whether I'm on a tour or at home it's like all about how you feel in the certain time you sit down.

As a kid I was super into all kinds of pop. It wasn't until I became a teenager that I moved more into alternative music and punk rock.

The first song I ever wrote was called 'Because I Love You.' I was very inspired by the Spice Girls and they were singing about love and stuff and I was seven.

The best present I have ever received was when I was about 13 and I got a really cool pair of black fake buffalo shoes. I was so happy about them. They were fake but I was ok with that.

I had everything you could collect. I had these Spice Girls postcards. I also had the stickers and Barbie girls. I had all five of them. I was a real fangirl. They were actually preaching some cool stuff, the thing about girl power and sticking together with your best girlfriends.

It's like when something good is happening with young people, then the old, grey people in power will be like: 'No! It cannot be like this!'
