- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We got sick of interviews and performances - for a long time, it came back to doing 'Take on Me.' It became a circus number instead of music.
- Cool
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
For a lot of fans from the early days, they probably had issues they were A-ha fans, because it probably wasn't 'cool.'

- Cake
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- Nov 07, 2020
We wanted the freedom to be playful, to experiment and do what we felt like doing, but we were heavily affected by the success that the first record gave us.

- Me
- |

- Always
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I had always wanted to make music on a big scale but never knew how it was going happen - until I saw a band in Oslo called Bridges. I was stunned. They had everything. The only thing they didn't have was me. I knew I needed to join, not for my own sake but for the band's. I knew I was a necessary ingredient.
- Loved
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We had to leave Norway and go where it was all happening, which was London. We loved it there, but it was hard. We had no money - we were literally starving. It started to get ugly.
- Name
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We sent a guy called Terry Slater a couple of demos, using the last of our money. And then things turned. He landed us a deal with Warners and said just keep coming up with songs, because when success hits you, you won't even know your name.
- Funny
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I am naturally prone to fun or to be funny, but when I talk about myself in interviews, then it's an intellectual exercise.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
A-ha is not me, Paul, or Magne: it is its own individual that has its own identity and characteristics. It is a result of a particular meeting point between the three of us.
- Fitted
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We didn't feel we fitted into the '80s.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

One of the good things about being away is to digest things and maybe learn from things and see if there are better ways to get to where you want to be.
- Beauty
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I do love beauty. I love beautiful tilings. I grow orchids and collect butterflies. But when it comes to relationships, you have to find the person inside.
- Good
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
What you look like doesn't matter as much as what you feel like. If you feel you look good, you look good. And I never felt that.
- First
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The record company didn't know what we looked like at first. They were all excited about our tapes.
- Great
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If looks help, that's great, but we don't want it to be the featured thing. It's totally superficial.
- Massive
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When we were kids, Stoke was massive in Norway.
- Face
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My younger brother was a big Stoke fan, and I was sucked into it. I was kind of waking up every morning and looking at Gordon Banks' face! We had all these small football cards - literally hundreds of them - and swapping them was the currency back then.
- Large
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We had a large spell in 1985-86, but we would have had to move to the States and be available all the time, so we chose to remain a European act.
- Music
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I grew up in a small mountain town in Norway, and I remember miming to the Beatles on the couch when I was about six, singing into a broomstick, but this was a country that only had one radio station. There was no music around, really.
- Nov 07, 2020
I'd known since I was 17 that I was going to be a star. It was a strange feeling but a very real one.
- Like
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The pin-up thing took us completely by surprise. I found it hard because I got singled out, and I didn't like it. There was a lot of disillusionment.
- Game
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If you respond to pop music as an older person, then it's your game. But this business has a tremendously visual focus.
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't abuse my body - I don't drink much alcohol, don't smoke and never have - but that's the same of many people. I don't think I've ever stopped ageing myself.
- Potential
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm attracted to people who are older rather than younger, and all ages have their potential and limitations.
- Great
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It's great to play live. I love it and appreciate it more than I did in the early days. It's a central part of being in A-ha.
