Cultural variety is always worth striving for, but must never precede the declaration of human rights.

There is a very vibrant cultural scene in Stockholm. There are lots of places where there are concerts, and there are loads of museums and theaters.

Well mostly in song writing my experience is that there isn't so much inspiration as hard work. You sit there for hours, days and weeks with a guitar and piano until something good comes.

In my career the push has always been to take another step, to try something new.

I believe that religious faith schools are highly dubious.

Before the Beatles, songwriters were very anonymous people and nobody paid any attention to them.

Every time I sit in the audience and watch a show that I have been involved with, it is such an amazing feeling to see all those people around me, knowing they are actually watching and enjoying something I have written.
