Agnetha Faltskog (ABBA)

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.
Agnetha Faltskog

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.
Agnetha Faltskog

I may have aimed too high sometimes, asked too much of myself and demanded too little from those around me.
Agnetha Faltskog

I must be allowed to be as I am.
Agnetha Faltskog

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!
Agnetha Faltskog

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.
Agnetha Faltskog

My path has not been determined. I shall have more experiences and pass many more milestones.
Agnetha Faltskog


There is a danger of changing too much in the search for perfection.
Agnetha Faltskog

There was a time when the music fell silent. Both within me and around me.
Agnetha Faltskog

This idea of trying to repeat a success doesn't interest me. It's only really done to make money.
Agnetha Faltskog

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!
