What did you want to be when you were a child?

A digger operator when I was a young boy, later I wanted to be a fish farmer or fish biologist. Two years later I wanted to be agriculture minister. For a while I wanted to be an actor.

What is your favourite tool in the office?

I use my phone the most, but is it my favourite tool? I don’t have a favourite tool in the office. 

What is your hidden talent?

My advantage is also my disadvantage. I work fast, but I also find it difficult when something takes a long time. I sometimes find it difficult to sit still for longer periods of time. 

What are you reading?

To be perfectly honest, I have never been a big book lover. I sometimes keep a book next to my bed, but I have read nothing but work-related reports and articles since becoming a government minister – except for books I have read to my two year old daughter. Last night I read Gunilla Wolde's book, Thomas Bakes. We read the entire book before turning out the lights and she fell asleep.
