attention couple music nice ok studies surprise touring university
It was a big surprise when I started to get attention in Sweden, going from biochemistry studies to touring and living from music only. There were a couple of years while I went to university when I was OK with thinking of music as just a nice recreation.
books four listen maybe occasional reader slow ted three watch year
I'm a very slow reader - I read maybe three or four books a year - so I listen to podcasts and the occasional audiobook, and I watch TED talks.
employers good majority vast
I would say the vast majority are not in a day labor-type scenario. Contractors and employers have a need for good workers, and once they find them they keep them.
stay team together
That was the most important thing to see this weekend, to see where we are at. If we stay together as a team this year, we're going to do very well. I can't see us not making the playoffs.
album touring
The album has just been re-released in the US so I'll be touring for sometime.
expect people record smile
People often expect me to be very serious, but it's not like my record company told me not to smile in photographs, because I was like that anyway.

I guess I am actually quite shy, and I've always felt very self-conscious during interviews.

We controlled most of the game. It took us a while to settle down. But once we did, we were all right. Now we have the toughest part of our schedule coming up.
chances hopefully last playoffs shape
We are probably in better shape than we were last year, ... Our chances to go all the way are very good. Right now, I don't think there isn't a way we can't make it to the playoffs and hopefully the finals.

We always had a guitar at home, but it wasn't until I was 14 when I picked it up myself when my father handed me these sheets of music of the Beatles and some other classics. That's where I learned all the chords and learned how to play and sing at the same time.
girly writing way
I let the music set the tone of the lyrics.I allowed myself to write more about relationships and emotions, in a girly way almost.
teacher life-is-hard democracy
Democracy, like life, is hard to learn and doesn't have a teacher,
rocks stamps frustrating
It can be a bit frustrating to always get the soft-rock stamp.
developers labor people projects sort traveled word work
When those projects started, the builders, the developers could not find the labor force. And as the word got out it traveled fast, and so people started coming. As people started coming, they said, 'Hey, there's a lot of work here,' and so that's what sort of triggered it.
