Bjorn Ulvaeus Quotes

If you were to ask me what I couldn’t do without, it would be sashimi Picture Quote #1

Folk music is where I come from originally. The very first thing that introduced me to playing guitars at all was skiffle - my cousin had been in London the summer that skiffle was big Picture Quote #1

The music of ABBA is not that happy. It might sound happy, in some strange way, but deep within, it’s not happy music. It has that Nordic melancholic feeling to it. What fools you is the girls’ voices. You know, I do think that is one of the secrets about ABBA. Even when we were really quite sad, we always sounded jubilant Picture Quote #1

There are days when I walk through the center of Stockholm when I get this sudden feeling of happiness - a sense of belonging and at the same time gratitude that I’m so privileged that I can live my life in my city Picture Quote #1

There are still many places I haven’t seen that I’d like to travel to. I’ve never seen the Pyramids, and I’d love to explore the culture in North India. I think walking in the Andes would also be awesome Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

The UN declaration on human rights must always be first in line before religion or other cultural habits, in case of any conflict between them Picture Quote #1

Religion is the root of so much misery in the world, and I’ve always thought there is lack of criticism against it Picture Quote #1

I’m so incredibly tired of giving respect to a lot of delusions and crazy ideas just because they are regarded as religions Picture Quote #1

Stockholm is unique in that it’s built on islands and surrounded by water, so you get this enormous sense of freedom. It’s got everything you could possibly need - everything New York or London has but without all the people and traffic. It’s also become a very creative city, not only for music but also for fashion and computer games Picture Quote #1

England was always very special. It was so important because the reason Benny and I started writing was the Beatles. During the Sixties, England was everything. To be number one in England was more important than being number one in America because England set the tone Picture Quote #1

In the beginning of my career, I wanted to be chased by girls more than anything - that’s why I got the guitar. By the time we were in ABBA, the music was the only important thing Picture Quote #1

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. But the urge to write is something you have to have. A conviction, an ambition to write and never stop until you think, ‘This is the best I can do.’ Picture Quote #1

Sweden is an open, liberal, secular and democratic country. We strive towards achieving equality; we are forward-looking and refuse to be pulled back by social constructs such as religion Picture Quote #1
