You’ll see an erosion of rock ‘n’ roll for sure… if you’re playing a mainstream festival, you don’t want to be the rock guy when everyone else is talking about Swedish House Mafia.
In 1987 I got dartitis, a psychological condition which means you can’t let your darts go properly. For a time, I wondered what the hell I was going to do if I didn’t recover. But I remained positive and, thankfully, got over it. It occurred during the Swedish Open when I found I couldn’t let the darts go.
I speak five languages: English, Swedish, French, Italian, and German.
Yeah, I am Swedish and a nice person. There is nothing wrong with that.
Whenever I travel anywhere, I’m constantly asked if I’m Swedish. It’s the burden of most Norwegians. The Swedes have just got a better publicity agent, I think.
The Norse way of speaking, no one really knew what the Vikings sounded liked, they were Norsemen. The accent is really a combination of a Scandinavian accent, maybe with a Swedish accent and an old way of speaking.
David Fincher is one of the best directors I know, so I’m really curious to see it. Really curious, and I want to hear Daniel have the Swedish accent.
Like all food, whether you’re talking about Persian food, or Chinese food, or Swedish food, it’s always a reflection of wars, trading, a bunch of good and a bunch of bad. But what’s left is always the food story.
My favorite country that I have visited would have to be Sweden. I’m such a sucker for the Swedish culture, and I learned Swedish in college, so I like to try and navigate my way around.
Less is more’ may be a cliche, but that doesn’t mean musicians often heed that advice. Swedish singer-songwriter Kristian Matsson, who performs and records as The Tallest Man on Earth, follows it religiously.
A Swedish newspaper reporter called and said, You’ve been awarded the Prize. I was quite sure it was a practical joke.
I met a Swedish single mum called Annalise who is living in the wilderness. Her dilemma is finding enough wood to make a fire to keep warm.
The Swedish Christmas is definitely unique, even throughout Scandinavia. Like Christmas everywhere, it’s a very family-centered holiday.
I’ve never been bored in my life, man. I’ve never been bored or lonely. Are you kidding? No way! I’m an orchestrator, a musician, a producer. I love everything. I’ve studied languages from Farsi to Greek to French, Swedish, Russian… How can you get bored?
When I try to relax, it’s more Swedish rock, softer music, and I go out and do fun stuff. I play guitar, but it doesn’t matter really what it is – just something that keeps you away from hockey.
