It really is about the heart of a woman that makes her beautiful.

Please remember, no matter what you go through in life, somebody else might have it harder.

I have to go... drop some kids in the pool.

Twenty-three is old. It's almost 25, which is like almost mid-20s.

I'm a naughty sweetheart.

Motherhood is a dream. It really is absolutely amazing.

All I have to say is: Jessica Simpson is the most beautiful woman on the planet!

Is this chicken, what I have, or is this fish? I know it's tuna, but it says 'Chicken of the Sea.'

I want to be a role model.

Getting my hair cut is just a very special moment for me. I don't know exactly why, but it's such an intimate, almost religious experience. I'm very careful with who gets to cut my hair.

The whole thing with playing on a stage with mics and all that has always been kind of uncomfortable to me.

Older men in my family - back to my grandpa - were basically completely bald.

I like short beards. Not a big fan of the bigger beards.

In the past, I used to rely on the randomness of working with samples, which was a good way because it threw you in a completely different direction. You just thought, 'What if I take this samba drum and combined it with an '80s synth line or something from this record?'

Ever since I started writing music, I've wanted to know what the songs are about and to be able to tell stories.

I found a favorite chord, which is B flat 7 - that's my favorite chord.

I really love the idea of stepping into another character and being able to sing maybe stuff that is not my thought and my own opinions, but be able to portray someone else and take a walk in their shoes for a while.

The 'sent' folder of my email program is really my biggest inspiration and my biggest source of lyrics. That's where I go to pick up a lot of the lyrics that I'm writing.

It's weird talking about the album as a living being with its own thoughts and direction, especially if you're the one creating it.

Christmas music is usually more concentrated pop music in a way. It's meant to make us feel good, and it's meant to make us like we belong somewhere.

It's not difficult getting into the charts in Sweden. It's a very different musical climate, and in a very good way, I think, because artists like Jose Gonzalez or The Knife can actually get on the charts.

I went to Legoland in Denmark when I was five, I think, but I went to Germany when I was 17 to have a little adventure after graduation.

It's good to let go of control. That's probably something all artists and song writers will say at some point.

I still love touring rock clubs around the world, and that's something that's really a part of me. I love making albums, and I'm a wedding singer on the side; that's my parallel career. So I love all those aspects of making music.
