From Marie:

• "I am what I am, I am not afraid of what I am, or of people's perception of me."

• "Without daring to make enemies, you have no real friends in the end."

• "If Madonna ran off crying that would be very funny though, heheheh!"

• Marie: "The other day Per ate a big spider!"
• Per: "She means lobster!"

• "I think everyone should go to therapy."

• "If I don't like it, I don't eat."

• (About the Big L) "I was really suspicious when I heard it for the first time, I thought it was too much pop!"

• (Talking about the most embarrassing experience of her life) "There was all these old ladies and my mother she was one of them, and they were having you know, kind of a meeting, and she had said to them "Oh I have a daughter, she can sings very well!" So it was very embarrassing for me."

• (About why she has short hair) " I cut it off about five or six years ago - it feels good, it's much easier to work with and you use less shampoo."

• "I am very, very kind really."

•  "If Playboy ring me up I would definitely say no!"

• "What is all this shit music in the charts? I mean all this Vanilla Ice shit? I have never seen a chart like this, it is really so bad."
• "Personally, I don't see myself as a sex symbol, but when people say that I get very proud, because I think people's sexuality is something very important."

• "Take advantage of every moment, live in the present."

• Always follow your own heart and go your own way."
