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

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

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

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

I believe that religious faith schools are highly dubious.

Freedom from indoctrination ought to be a basic human right for all children.

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.

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.

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.

The story of Jesus is very fascinating. It still has such a tremendous power, even after 2,000 years! We don't really know if he existed as a historical figure.

We ask, ‘Why the need for God?’ Maybe the better question is ‘Why the need not to need Him?’ And could it be that that question in fact evidences our need for Him?

Stand in Your Power: When a woman stands in her power and speaks her truth from the heart, it brings balance into the Universe and the opportunity to connect fully with Divine source

You see, God helps only people who work hard. That principle is very clear.

You will always take first place in God’s Heart.

It is not the source but the limitation of power which prevents it from being arbitrary.

Perhaps I'm just optimistic.

Not really, and actually my cholesterol was 190 when I had the heart attack. 190, which isn't that high. I took it down to about 130 and it's probably about 140 or 145 now.

I love making down-home Southern cooking, and just chilling out and having cakes and pies and baking stuff, you know. I'm a pretty simple girl.

We do not have the luxury of despair right now. There is too much at stake, for too many people.

Love is a great thing, a good above all others, which alone maketh every burden light.
