Benny Andersson's Quotes

  • "I don't get it... did we look like transvestites or something?" - On drag queens performing ABBA songs.
  • I didn't think this would happen, because we were a pop band, not a rock band. Being a foreigner from the North Pole, this feels really good. (On ABBA's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2010)
