When I did "Top of the Pops" for the first time, Ace of Base was one of the other bands, and I have a memory of them on a small stage next to me in the TV studio. A memory of their performance is burned into my mind. Seared.

If someone is making a judgment when they don't have firsthand experience, it's intolerant. How can you make a judgment on something you don't know about?

I had long hair when I was a teenager.

There are certain records that you love because the songs are great, but you don't go to them as an example of great production.

I just go in the studio and write on the spot and see what comes out.

No one should drive a hard bargain with an artist.

There are people who've prepared their whole lives for real heavy success and bask in it. They're so good at it and they obviously love it. I'm just happy to be making a record.
