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.

I thought I had my feet on the ground, but if someone tells you every day you're going to be the next big thing then...So then if you aren't, you think, 'Have I done something wrong?'

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.

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.

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.

I was into hip-hop when I was a teenager. Then I started to look for samples, and I started a long Hendrix period - I liked the drums and the beats.
