When I was 25, Abba was formed. After Abba I made three solo albums. Maybe I have been productive enough.

I can spot empty flattery and know exactly where I stand. In the end it's really only my own approval or disapproval that means anything.

The press has always written that I am a recluse and a mysterious woman, but I am more down-to-earth than they think.

I would like to sing the theme tune of a big film - something like 'Titanic'.
