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?

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.

I'd imagine "murderess" trumps "wife" when defining a close relationship.

My love is of a birth as rare As 'tis, for object, strange and high; It was begotten by Despair Upon Impossibility.

Not every change is an improvement but every improvement is a change; you can't do anything BETTER unless you can manage to do it DIFFERENTLY, you've got to let yourself do better than other people!

Just because you can't see them and you can't hear them, that doesn't mean they're not here.

One of biggest rules in football is you have to avoid crosses.

I think that standup has always been an acquired taste and there was always only a handful of performers that were really inspired.

Politics resemble religion; attempting to divest either of ceremony is the most certain mode of bringing either into contempt.
