faith religious believe
I believe that religious faith schools are highly dubious.
religious rights average
And also a lot of Muslims are no more religious then the average Swede. For them it's natural that human rights come first.
rights strive humans
Cultural variety is always worth striving for, but must never precede the declaration of human rights.
abba four people stage
I want people to remember ABBA as we were. I don't think that four geriatrics wheeled on stage is what we should leave as our legacy.
song inspiration writing
Well mostly in song writing my experience is that there isn't so much inspiration as hard work. You sit there for hours, days and weeks with a guitar and piano until something good comes.
abba devoted sincere songs time
Critics used to say that ABBA were formulaic or that our songs were rubbish. We never had time for those comments, though. We were sincere and devoted to what we did.
horses stockholm
Wild horses couldn't drag me away from a summer on the Stockholm archipelago.
people attention songwriters
Before the Beatles, songwriters were very anonymous people and nobody paid any attention to them.
believe religion sweden
I believe that religion should be totally separated from the state. That's not the way it is today, not even in Sweden.
doomsday heaps money paper scenario
If that doomsday scenario happens, will it help if you have heaps of paper money? I don't think so.
best lennon mccartney
Lennon and McCartney have the best catalogue of songs ever produced. It will never be surpassed.
lack misery religion root
Religion is the root of so much misery in the world, and I've always thought there is lack of criticism against it.
conviction countries criticize dare far few less middle might misery punched religion saying
Look at all the misery in the Middle East, for example. All these countries have Islam in common, and far too few dare to criticize Islam as an ideology, and what it's doing to these countries. I know I might get punched in the face for saying these things, but my conviction is that less religion in the world would be better.
admired good longevity order worked
Look at The Beatles: how they struggled, how they worked in order to become such a good little band. And that's why they had such longevity and are still admired today.
