I got the travel bug when I was quite young. My parents took me and my sisters out of school and we travelled all over Europe. It was an eye-opening experience and although I love Norway I also enjoy visiting new countries. I don't get homesick.

I've been lucky to travel through quite a bit of Europe and Australia but I would love to do Asia and South America and South Africa.

I have a character failing. I am quite incapable of identifying with anything whole-heartedly. Whatever I am doing I am always planning to do something else. I would rather travel than arrive.

A travel book is about someone who goes somewhere travels on the ground sees something and spends quite a lot of time doing it and has a hard time and then comes back and writes about it. It's not about inventing.

I feel there are two people inside me - me and my intuition. If I go against her she'll screw me every time and if I follow her we get along quite nicely.

We have to be thankful considering our number as a family we enjoy very good health generally but you may be sure me and my partner have quite enough to exercise our minds and occupy our attention.

I'm so thankful for the Internet because actors and singers and performers now have a way to connect with their fans on a very personal level which I think is quite special.

It's been quite a roller coaster ride but I've grown and learned a lot about myself. The greatest thing is being able to interact with fans and touch people's lives... for that I give thanks.

Technology has changed the fan/actor interaction quite a bit.

The technology is good and it's bad. You know what you're dealing with out there musically but my head stops at this electronic stuff. I don't quite know what I'm dealing with out there yet.
