The press has always written that I am a recluse and a mysterious woman, but I am more down-to-earth than they think.
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.
When you love someone, and you've lost that one, then nothing really matters.
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.
I'm a country bumpkin. I'm not a showgirl.
No one who has experienced facing a screaming, boiling, hysterical audience can avoid feeling shivers in the spine. It's a thin line between celebration and menace.
My life contains so many other things; I have my children, my grandchildren, my two dogs and a big place in the country. I have my own life.
My professional persona never loosens its grip, keeping an eye on me at all times.
