Remember the Y2K bug? Ahhh, those were the days... I'll never forget that New Year's Eve. My wife and I were in Golden Bay dancing with her parents to Abba songs when suddenly, the rain began to fall. I took it as a sign from Mother Nature that everything was gonna be okay. Sure enough, the clock struck 12, and life went on as normal.
When I was eight, my pals and I went up to my bedroom, put on our party frocks and mimed to ABBA records using broom handles as microphones.
I believe in God - not in a Catholic God; there is no Catholic God. There is God, and I believe in Jesus Christ, his incarnation. Jesus is my teacher and my pastor, but God, the Father, Abba, is the light and the Creator. This is my Being.
We shall try to destroy you. Won't you have another drink?
I remember Tim telling me that he had an idea for a musical and he said to me that he was hoping that ABBA would be writing the music, which I thought was a pretty wild idea because they were obviously known very much as pop writers.
When I was 25, Abba was formed. After Abba I made three solo albums. Maybe I have been productive enough.
I grew up on Queen, ABBA and at the same time, Nityasree.
In the beginning of my career, I wanted to be chased by girls more than anything - that's why I got the guitar. By the time we were in ABBA, the music was the only important thing.
The music of ABBA is not that happy. It might sound happy, in some strange way, but deep within, it's not happy music. It has that Nordic melancholic feeling to it. What fools you is the girls' voices. You know, I do think that is one of the secrets about ABBA. Even when we were really quite sad, we always sounded jubilant.
Abba and me, we were the 70s.
I didn't grow up with a musical family. My mom had a lot of CDs in the house, particularly Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, ABBA, all the sort of like diva icons. She's Swedish, so she loves pop music.
Every decade has its ABBA; that's the proof that pop will always be around.
I still love Abba.
I made all their videos, apart from the last two, so if you ever see an Abba video on TV then it's my stuff.
We have a history of great producers - ABBA and Max Martin - we have proof of people being successful from Sweden.
ABBA was a direct influence on me.
I quite like ABBA.
The Israel legendary foreign minister, Abba Eban, used to say that the Palestinians had never missed an opportunity to miss an opportunity.
I thought if Oasis could get away with sounding like The Beatles, I could get away with sounding like Abba.
I promise you, ABBA will never reform - I couldn't bear the stress of disappointing everyone.
I don't own an ABBA album, and I never had the urge to go and buy one. If you're just talking about well crafted pop songs, they were fantastic.
I want people to remember ABBA as we were. I don't think that four geriatrics wheeled on stage is what we should leave as our legacy.
I do listen to Abba. And a lot of '80s and '90s pop music.
In the mid- to late '70s, there was no one better than ABBA at writing and producing great pop.
ABBA: The Movie; I got a lot of grief for working on that.
