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

"I must be allowed to be as I am."

"My professional persona never loosens its grip, keeping an eye on me at all times."

"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."

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

"When I was 25, Abba was formed. After Abba I made three solo albums. Maybe I have been productive enough."

"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."

"I would like to sing the theme tune of a big film - something like 'Titanic.'"

"I just want to live in peace and quiet."

"When I was 15 I became a full-time singer in a band. At 18 I made my first record."

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