"I hated growing up. I probably also hated school because I hated things. But I think it was all me. I was miserable, and the misery was in me. And because that was strange, I was looking for external, rational explanations, as in “Hey, I am not Danish, I am American”. I can kind of pin everything on that. I didn’t feel at home on planet Earth, and so I didn’t like school. I was good at it but I didn’t like it. I didn’t like anything!"

"I grew up in an environment where people did things in order to show off, more than making themselves happy first. We even have a joke that goes something like "you buy a BMW car, but you're asking your parents for gas money". It's something I always ran away from, at least I hope I did a good job at it, so I never identified with that part of the culture. I was relieved to leave it behind and not see this bubble happen everyday in front of my eyes. I don't know if I'll ever feel at home anywhere, with anybody or any possesions, if I ever become as good as I picture I should be -- that's to be discovered -- but I choose to define this feeling of restlessness as my home."
