My father and my mother were professional footballers and have also been coaches.

Norway has a great history of women's football, but it's harder now. We've stopped talking about development, and other countries have overtaken us.

It's great that we all talk about investment, but there needs to be action behind it as well. If we don't push for the change for women's football to go in the right direction, then it won't come by itself.

I never saw myself as a women's footballer. Not when I was in my tiny village in Norway. Not when I was suffering in Germany. Not when I finally made it to Lyon.

I have a couple of friends who have gone pro in sports, and if you are off by an inch, it's an entire mindgame for the next week. That's how it works: like, your whole world is based around an inch. Being an actor, your whole world turns on an inch, too.

I've played with, and against, some of the best players in the world and have experienced so much that professional football has to offer.

I'm not a sports fan, but I remember watching highlights with post-rock guitar instrumental music over these slow-motion shots of football players. It's triumphant, and it's emotional, and that's what sports are for.

I walk my dogs. I garden a little. I play a bit of tennis. Basically when I have spare time I'm making music.
