- A once controversial writer and somewhat front-figure of a self-proclaimed new generation of cultural elite in Norway, for whom he proclaimed "We are the New Whine. The whine that will blow the bottles!". He did so standing on the table during a now legendary dinner at Oslo's respected Theatre Café, ending up getting thrown out of the establishment. He had his life turned upside down, when according to some he "sold out" when he fell in love with Princess Märtha Louise and in 2002 married her and became a member of the Norwegian Royal Family.
- I am not cutting off any branches. I am a tree all by myself. [on his own writings]
- I felt a strong urge to go out and shoot a bear, or crush rocks. [about becoming a father and thus feeling like a man]
- I love mountains and all that, but what sticks in my mind when I am gone from Norway, is the Østfold (part of Norway) landscape. The open cultural landscapes, breezy forests and yellow wheat fields, the granite, the summer, the coastal lines and the rounded bare rocks by the sea.
- [on meeting Kevin Spacey] We had a great talk, he sat right beside me. After 5 minutes, he said, 'Hey, let's go out and have a cigarette.' Then he puts his hand under the table and grabs me by the balls. [interview on radio station P4, 2017]
