Zitat des Tages von Agnetha Faltskog:
I'm a country bumpkin. I'm not a showgirl.
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.
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.
I would like to sing the theme tune of a big film - something like 'Titanic.'
There was a time when the music fell silent. Both within me and around me.
I have always had strong maternal instincts. Even when I was still a child I cut out pictures of prams from newspapers and imagined the feeling of pushing my own pram through fresh winter snow and seeing the wheels' tracks behind me in the snow.
My path has not been determined. I shall have more experiences and pass many more milestones.
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 must be allowed to be as I am.
When you love someone, and you've lost that one, then nothing really matters.
When I'm living in the world of luxury and celebrity, which is where I found myself for a large part of my life, it's a walk-on part. Not a vital necessity, like it is for so many people. I enjoy it but I can see right through it!
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.
This idea of trying to repeat a success doesn't interest me. It's only really done to make money.
I can spot empty flattery and know exactly where I stand. In the end it's really only my own approval or disapproval that means anything.
There is a danger of changing too much in the search for perfection.
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.
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.
I may have aimed too high sometimes, asked too much of myself and demanded too little from those around me.
I have one pug and one Czechoslovakian dog called Prazsky krysarik.
