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.

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.

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

Some values must be universal, like human rights and the equal worth of every human being.

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

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.
