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.

All my teenage years my punk was hip-hop - I just hated pop 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.

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 love music so much that I have to try to make my own music. And not copy 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. So then I try, and I watch it become something totally different. But that's the way I have to do it.

I love music so much that I have to try to make my own music. And not copy music.

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 questioned everything about music. I think it's a strange thing standing on a stage and making music. I just questioned it always: What's music? What's the meaning of it?

When I did the vocals, I always became so angry and pissed off.

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.
