Alexander said in an interview to NRKs Website:
“I always get requests, to do things, I can´t do on TV and I always refuse.
This, however, is something I am really passionate about: To find a talent and a tune and to do something personal with it.
This is the best thing, I know and it is great to be allowed to share my knowledge with the people.”
