I don’t have much time, but I give the summary a try:

It’s amazing to be celebrating 20 years together, really cool, and we’ve been through many different things together. Of course it is extremely difficult to feel and think alike all these years, but I think the key to our success is that we allowed each other to do other things and go on with our own projects - solo, GT...

It was very rarely that we got on each other’s nerves, even if we were on tour - away from home for half a year or so. We were lucky to have a cool gang and close friends with us on tour.

what is the key to Roxettes success?

Per: As they say it’s luck, timing and tallent. Also the fact we were a bit older - we were around 30 then. We had good songs in the right time and we were able to live up to expectations regarding the upcoming releases. What’s more, we’re both 2 biggest Roxette fans - Marie and I, which is also crucial here. Sorry to spoil the surprise.

what is so special about Roxette?

Marie: We had lots of fun, it gives you so much inside, wonderful, travelling all around the world and so. Cool!

how come you started Roxette?

Per: It’s a looong story, how much time have we got? Anyway, Marie and I shared the rehersal studio and we were both in the middle of something else with our projects in the 70ties. Then in the 80ies - 83-84 when my stocks lay really low and Maries solo career was rocketing a guy from my record company suggested we do a song in English, together.

Marie was so enormously big back than that I didn’t have the guts to make such an offer. To my surprise she said yes.

Marie: Alr
though I was advised not to give up my career deep inisde I felt that was what I really wanted to do - travell everywhere and so.

Didn’t it feel strange that GT were goind down and Marie was going up at that time?

Per: Yeah, despite Gts attempts to get breakthrough outside Sweden in 83-84, we failed. I had no longer a record deal, I just sat at home writing songs in Swedish. Actually, the first Roxette record consists of my own songs translated into English and sung by Marie, because we needed a record in English so quickly, because of Neverending love success.

How did it feel to record the first record?

It felt great, we went into our roles directly, the recording sort of took care of itself. There were nice people around - for instance Clarence from day one till now.

I actually think we complete each other and bvecome better TOGETHER than solo. Marie sings great on her own - but still, she becomes better working with Clarence and me. The same goes me - I’ve always heard one could not dance to my songs or make them danceable. And there comes Clarence with his arrangements and works wonders with the songs. Or that my voice is my weak side - and here comes Marie and sings LTYH or DFS and breathes a new life in the songs.

How important is the chemistry between you?

Per: It’s of paramount importance. Otherwise we wouldn’t be here after so many years.

You topped Billboard 4 times, how does it feel?

Marie: What can I say, wow.

We were there for almost 4 years not disappearing from the charts and in the beginning of 90ties we were in top 3 of the most played artists.

How did it feel to become number one?

Per: We learnt about it on our way back from somewhere, I think it was Holland. We split in Stockholm because I lived in Halmstad and in the evening we got the news. So the following day I was forced to fly back to Stockholm, typical, such news never spreads when we are together.

Marie: I was shocked, all i ever wanted suddenly becomes our reality.

You might have had such dreams, but surely they feel improbable?

Per: Yeah, I cross my heart talking about having breakthrough we stayed realists. We hoped for breakthrough in Germany or Holland but USA...it´s crazy.
