It's a privilege to serve the poor, to be servants of noble Africans, but I better belong in the rehearsal room or in the studio with my band. That's where I want to be and I still wake up in the morning with melodies in my head.

Music can change the world because it can change people.

I think ABBA have a pure joy to their music and that's what makes them extraordinary.

The great moments of rock 'n' roll were never off in some corner of the music world, in a self-constructed ghetto.

Rock music is niche.
