I spend a lot of time with the grandchildren. They love it when we sing together. It's fantastic to hear them, and they really can sing. I don't talk to them so much about 'Abba' and the past, but as they get older, they will become more aware.
When you love someone, and you've lost that one, then nothing really matters.
There are a lot of artists that I love, and I think they're really talented, and they're good dancers as well. I've always wished that I could combine that.
This idea of trying to repeat a success doesn't interest me. It's only really done to make money.
I was so tired once 'Abba' was over and just wanted to be calm and with my children. I married, was in 'Abba,' had my children, divorced, all in ten years. I wonder how I managed it, but I was young.
When I was 15 I became a full-time singer in a band. At 18 I made my first record.
I would like to sing the theme tune of a big film - something like 'Titanic.
I must be allowed to be as I am.
When I was 25, Abba was formed. After Abba I made three solo albums. Maybe I have been productive enough.
I am uninterested in appearing in newspapers and on television. Many people think I am striking a pose - that I want to create a sense of shyness. But it's just not something I want to do. I overdosed.
It's strange that the newspapers don't see a connection between their false revelations about my private life and my need for seclusion and security.
I may have aimed too high sometimes, asked too much of myself and demanded too little from those around me.
It has always felt like a failure that Bjorn and I couldn't keep our family together. You never get it back, but to this day I don't regret splitting up. The reason behind our separation is one of those things I definitely don't want to go into!
I have one pug and one Czechoslovakian dog called Prazsky krysarik.
