Ich wusste nicht in welches Thread ich es platzieren sollte und auch nicht ob wir das schon hatten. Hab daher das hier aufgemacht.
Morten about himself
“I`m supposed to be a rock star, you know. I have to accept the part, even when I feel it`s too dumb.
I have to go out and play god. I`m overwhelmingly self-assured. But to carry that out on stage, is another matter.”
“I`ve got to see how things look from beneath and from the sides. I have to turn everything upside down, I`ve got to twist statements around, dissect all final reasoning, cut them apart and find out what they really look like.”
“When I listen to a singer like Jeff Buckley, I hear a vocalist who`s come a lot farther than I have. I have something to learn from him.”
“Whatever your innermost belief, your innermost voice says, that`s what you`ll get.”
“There are moments when I feel I`ve got it down, moments when I just sing. Those are the moments that make me keep going.”
Morten about the press
“I don`t take debate in the media too seriously. I`ll just give the finger to any gang of journalists who use an expensive communications system to broadcast hot air.”
Morten about Jan
“Jan has both psychic and healing powers. I was never interested in the mystical, astrology, fortune-tellers and the like. But things occur that I just have to accept. Jan turns into the different meridians in the body, and finds out where there are blockages. He doesn`t change the actual system of the body, but changes
how the system relates itself to itself. He reboots the computer, in a way. I`ve never been healed before or since. It wasn`t something I went looking for, it was a pure coincidence.”
“I can unreservedly say that I`m so much better off when I have access to what Jan does. What people think, I don`t give a shit about.”

Magne about Morten
“Morten has an impressive voice and makes certain emotions very accessible to people. They want to listen to him because of his voice.”
“With Morten, it can end up with only you and him talking for eight hours some evening. When he`s focussed on you, he`s an insanely interesting and deliberative guy. When he interacts with someone else, it feels like he`s uninterested in what you`re doing.”
“Morten has an amazing voice that we sometimes forget about as we’re so close to it. He always blows me away.”
Pal about Morten
“Morten`s voice is unique.”
Sven Persson about Morten
“Morten has a gift from God, but he`s almost never satisfied. I`ll be damned if there is another singer in the world like him. When it clicks perfectly, it`s magic.”

Per Lindvall about Morten
“I remember a concert on the Wild Seed-Tour with Morten. We played a fantastic gig. Morten was great. But he wasn`t satisfied at all. At that point, something died inside me.“

Henning Kramer Dahl about Morten
“Morten was a world-famous star in his own universe long before he became a star in the world the rest of us inhabit.”
„He has a child’s curiosity about life. Even at 40 he’s not getting old. But he’s not young either. He’s just timeless.”

Anne-Mette about Morten
“When he`s going to tell me something at home, I`ve learned not to respond after two sentences. Because he never gets to the point until the end. He talks while he`s thinking. If you stop him in the middle, he unravels.”
“Morten doesn`t always manage to see all the projects he starts through to the end. He gets a few too many ideas about what he can do. And everything has to be perfect. He`s not the best one at structuring his time or the use of other peoples time. He doesn`t like doing things halfway. He`s always there for his children, and then again, he isn`t. “

Sigurjon Einarsson about Morten
“There`s always been yes-men around Morten. But they tend to fall away after a while. He likes having sparing partners who dare to speak out. But Morten is such that he always has to have the last word.”
“Morten doesn`t do practical things. He has other to do that for him. Partly because it`s not in his nature. But also because the most ordinary daily chores become big projects for him. He can`t do anything without really thinking it through. Going to the store is a major operation for him.”
Jan Omdahl about Morten
“Morten isn`t as strange as people think. He`s much stranger. He`s also nicer, kinder and smarter. His social I.Q. is higher than many think, with a radar that picks up on most signals – including his own social faux pas.
Morten definately has his blind spots, and can at times seem like he`s on another planet. But most of the time – by far – when he really puts his foot in it, it`s on purpose.
Morten can be almost self-destructive socially, but he thinks that`s his right.”
