I grew up listening to a lot of Ray Charles and '60s rock, thanks to my father, and then my brothers got me in to KISS and whatnot, so I guess that's where I got my first taste for music.

My dad has always been a big Ray Charles fan, and I've grown up listening to all kinds of music.

I've tried plenty of telephones. I tried to get into the Samsung Galaxy and the Blackberry, but the iPhone is just too easy to use. The camera takes clear pictures and the phone itself looks great. Like all Apple products, it kind of just makes sense.

People in Sweden are very conscious of what people are saying about you.

There's always haters, no matter what you're doing - whether they're complaining that everything you do sounds the same, or it's too different.

I have a hard time writing music when I'm on tour.

When it comes to electronic music, I started listening to a lot of Daft Punk, way before I knew what house music was, and then progressed into a lot of Steve Angello, Eric Prydz, Axwell, Sebastian Ingrosso, and Laidback Luke.
