When I played my own songs, I had to do everything myself to get it the right way, but now I think it's interesting to see how it becomes music.

If I hear a song that I love - how is the groove and how is the beat and what is the feeling of this? - I can make it my own.

Music is for making people happy, lyrics tell them who they are. Everybody is free to interpret the music, as they want. The lyrics of my songs are about different things, but it's all about my issues.

The Swedish folk music - I can't hear any connection between my music and fiddle tunes, but I guess since I grew up with that, kind of, Swedish tone or harmony.

I tried to find myself and become a happy person without all the drugs and alcohol. And then I got back to Stockholm and I got pissed one night and had to sing.

Take it easy. Don't approach music as a religion.

I'm inspired to keep on when people like what I do.
