My time with the Sugarcubes was one of the "most magical" periods of my life. We were six persons who really loved eachother to death. We were friends, we had known eachother forever, we started a band, more or less as a joke - and people took us seriously!

We just laughed. Three of us were poets who were seen as the most promising in the country and what do we do? Go to Texas and do guitarsolos. Of course we couldn't live on a joke forever. It just wasn't fun in the end.

Finally we found ourselves in the rock'n'roll dressingrooms playing "Spinal Tap" and nobody had written a single line in four years. This time meant a lot to me and I learned incredibly much, but in the end it all just felt so unhealthy.
