It's strange that the newspapers don't see a connection between their false revelations about my private life and my need for seclusion and security.

There is a danger of changing too much in the search for perfection.

I may have aimed too high sometimes, asked too much of myself and demanded too little from those around me.

My professional persona never loosens its grip, keeping an eye on me at all times.

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

When I was 15 I became a full-time singer in a band. At 18 I made my first record.

I have one pug and one Czechoslovakian dog called Prazsky krysarik.
