Maja Fjæstad

She knew that when she played [piano] she was giving pleasure only to herself; but this was no new sensation: excepting one short period of her life, she had never, since the age of fourteen, never since the loss of her dear mother, known the happiness of being listened to, or encouraged by any just appreciation or real taste. In music she had been always used to feel alone in the world.

“I just thought, well, let’s do deductive logic to make this character. If you’re that particular about what you say and when you speak, maybe you also don’t like people to know your thoughts. Maybe you’re economic with your gestures and your facial expressions. It just became this position of power for me, for the character, versus the position of weakness. I could just choose not to speak. She just observes these people until they hang themselves. I wish I had the ability to not desperately fill silences, and to not constantly want to make sure everybody in a room is okay. But that’s from my upbringing, and Kim’s is from hers.” — Rhea Seehorn
