I speak Swedish, it's my first language. Of course, growing up with Latin American parents from Argentina, I also have some other influences from other cultures. But Sweden is where I feel the most at home.

I speak some French, Spanish, a little German and Gaelic.

My father is Swedish and my mother is French.

I speak English with my dad and Swedish with my mom; it's quite schizophrenic.

Whenever I travel anywhere, I'm constantly asked if I'm Swedish. It's the burden of most Norwegians. The Swedes have just got a better publicity agent, I think.

I do chat to my mother in Norwegian, particularly when we want a secret conversation. It is useful that way.

I always identified myself as non-Swedish. I was never discriminated against, because I looked Swedish and speak without an accent. But I had an outsider's perspective.

I met my wife in New York, so, we lived together there for five years, so my Swedish was kind of a gradual learning process.
