Ase Agneta Faltskog and Anna Faltskog, is a Swedish singer, songwriter and a member of the pop group ABBA. She first achieved success in Sweden with the release of her 1968 self-titled debut album. She rose to international stardom in the 1970s as a member of ABBA, which is one of the best-selling music acts in history. She is the youngest member of ABBA, and the only one born in the 1950s.
After the unofficial break-up of ABBA in December 1982, she renewed success later in the decade as a solo artist with three albums and a leading role in a movie. She became reclusive in the 1990s, avoiding outside publicity and residing on the Stockholm County island of Ekero.
Faltskog stopped recording music for 16 years until she released a new album, My Colouring Book, in 2004. She returned in 2013 with A, her highest UK charting solo album to date. ABBA has since reformed, and Faltskog has resumed her previous role with the group.
There was a time when the music fell silent. Both within me and around me.

When I’m living in the world of luxury and celebrity, which is where I found myself for a large part of my life, it’s a walk-on part. Not a vital necessity, like it is for so many people. I enjoy it but I can see right through it!

I can spot empty flattery and know exactly where I stand. In the end it’s really only my own approval or disapproval that means anything.

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

I must be allowed to be as I am.

My path has not been determined. I shall have more experiences and pass many more milestones.
Swedish singer (born 1950)
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.
Swedish singer (born 1950)
I may have aimed too high sometimes, asked too much of myself and demanded too little from those around me.
Swedish singer (born 1950)
There is a danger of changing too much in the search for perfection.
Swedish singer (born 1950)
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.
