I believe that religion should be totally separated from the state. That's not the way it is today, not even in Sweden.

The UN declaration on human rights must always be first in line before religion or other cultural habits, in case of any conflict between them.

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

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

I'm so incredibly tired of giving respect to a lot of delusions and crazy ideas just because they are regarded as religions.

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.
