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

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.

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

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

I've recorded myself for four or five years and have been doing lots of experiments. I'm not that good an engineer - so it always becomes a different song - but I have ideas.

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.

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

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.

To play Swedish folk music is a lifetime achievement, but I'm well on my way.

The only freedom you truly have is in your mind, so use it.

Love others as much as you can, as often as you can, and as deeply as you can. Never forget to love yourself.

Rage and hurt coalesce into a stone in my chest and as I take another gulp of my father's prized whiskey, I hear myself say, "Tell me about your plan.

Please, put aside all excuses and ask yourself, "What should I be doing?" Yes, you alone can make a difference. The question is, will you?

For me, writing something in the spirit of Halloween is like Mother Teresa writing on charity and sacrifice. It's just second nature to me.

Adam & Eve. The serpent cracked the mirror in a thousand pieces, & the apple was his rock.

I don't know anyone my age.

I think someone in the union has the right to a private vote, and that's why I'm anti-card check. I grew up in a union family. My grandfather was a coal miner; he was in the union.

I just hope I'm never promoted to the level of my incontinence.

The key word in profiteering is profit.
