I’ll start with this one:
“We’d like to go back to the Joyride days”
animalkingdom said on March 14, 2003 18:50:
Hmm...Well I don’t know really. One that tends to irritate me is on FLAF from the Nox single. “It was actually written in, in Canada”. Like what’s that got to do with it? It might have worked in Toronto but in Brussels? I am sure he could have come up with something more appropriate.
Jackie_Radiorox said on March 15, 2003 00:25:
I fergot how it goes but something like
“We are going to play a song from the new album... I am sure all of you already got it from Napster... her’s Real Sugar” ;)
LoneGunman said on March 15, 2003 00:36:
How about these :
- Here in Brazil, about the reason why 3 of the popiest bands in the world ( ABBA, Roxette and Ace Of Base ) came from the same country :
“It’s probably something in the milk”
- About that seal with Roxette on it :
“It’s like having a whole country licking your ass”
- When a guy from a Radioshow couldn’t say “Gessle” in the right way :
“You can call me Shirley” ( I think he took that from the movie “Snatch” )
Per is the best !! :)
All the best

I remember one of Per’s answer in an argentinian interview...the question was something like “which artist would you have liked to be?”
And his answer was...”Britney Spears”.
Everyone laughed at the radio studio for minutes :)

During the Joyride tour in Zurich which was recorded I THINK for EU HBO.
Before they start DYGE...
“So do you wanna get excited?” ;)
No comment *grins*.

When he gave a confusing info on a German TV show:
“Sorry, I went banana.”
vivien said on March 15, 2003 10:27:
“I’ve read it in Aftonbladet.”
Answer to the question, how did he got know that he’s gonna be a father.
(He said later thet Åsa woke him up and told it to him.)
Speedo said on March 16, 2003 09:15:
Wow guys, thanx for your reactions. Per really is the best!
Another one:
“Oh my God, that sounded better on Napster I’m sure!”
(about Real Sugar live in Barcelona Showcase)
Max-Tob said on March 17, 2003 14:18:
That’s all?... Keep finding interesting quotes...I would like to help, but I don’t know any (only what I found on the internet, but I guess you already know them). I just looooove France (where I live)!!
Katuska said on March 17, 2003 15:56:
A few hours before the RS-show in Stockholm, he answered a lot of fan-questions by chat in Aftonbladet hq. “Where is Marie?”-he was asked.
“She’s in Denmark.”- he answered. :-))
And he uses a tipical word: ’actually’ :-)
tevensso (moderator) said on March 17, 2003 16:02:
When I saw Gyllene Tider March 17 1984, I met the guys backstage. On my question to why they didn’t perform “Can you touch me?” Per said “Ehhh, Göran had to take a phone call...”
roxtexanet said on March 17, 2003 16:38:
Reporter: “How did you find America this time around?”
Per: “Oh, we took a left at Greenland as usual.”
(:
tevensso (moderator) said on March 17, 2003 19:07:
“Why are Swedes so successful in music?”
“Must be something in the milk...”
Roxwriter said on March 17, 2003 22:17:
I have to add this one from the old HAVEANICEDAY.nu Q&A forum with Per.
Someone asked the following question and Per’s response was a ripper :-)
Q: “Per, is Cooper die?”
A: “Yes Cooper is die”.
Hahahaha, that’s a classic! Love that one!
Jackie_Radiorox said on March 17, 2003 22:24:
From interviews -
“If you hear noise in the background, it’s a cappucino machine!”
DaminehGessle said on March 19, 2003 01:15:
Q: “Per, is Cooper die?”
A: “Yes Cooper is die”.
Hahahaha! THAT WAS FUNNY! Once I was giving a ride to my friend’s Korean girlfriend who knows no English.
Q: ” So... Where do you live?”
A: “Yeah”
P-p-p-pelle said on April 2, 2003 10:35:
the sound, his moves, his face in the ’About Roxette’ documentary when making the Big L:
(fast speed) tö-tö-töö-tö-rö-tö-töö
(a little slower) tö-tö-töö-tö-rö-tö-töö
BLIGGER
Jackeill said on April 2, 2003 11:15:
in q&a there was a question about st strange in live performance, that sound wasn’t good or st like that [i don’t remember] and only thing per said to somebody was: “you must be deaf” i know that’s funny but it was rude :)
CRIZ said on April 2, 2003 16:33:
“It’s not easy to screw us ......”
Roxette Documentary....as he said that he understood that this has a double meaning and his smile was very funny >:)
But he makes me mad with saying “sort of” every second sentence in this interview and there are more interviews with this “sort of- attack” (Talking about Tourism).....sort of sort of all the time...argh..I’m glad he got over it later....
Starrox said on April 2, 2003 18:42:
Quote from my “Schlampermäppchen” (I have no idea at all how to translate this and couldn’t find it in the dictionary - it’s the round thing often made of leather you put pencils and so on in - I had people sign, paint or write on it): “You know, just have a nice day - sort of!” *g*
Per had sort of a “you know”-attack during HAND, you know? ;-)
Jud (moderator) said on April 2, 2003 23:00:
oh yeah his “you know” !!
What era was that? CBB? I have some radio interviews with this “you know” every minute !
I had a laugh with “i went banana” I had never heard that before LOL
Starrox said on April 2, 2003 23:27:
Yeah, that must have been in 94... I once tried to transcribe CBB radio interviews, too - in one Per managed to say “you know” at least once in every single sentence!
vivien said on April 3, 2003 08:54:
It was very funny too, when Per said that he had a cd-player in the hospital ´cos he wanted that Gabbe ´d born when he playes Here there and everywhere ( by caesarean section), but the song was just over when Gabbe was born so he was born to Yellow submarine which was a big tragedy in his family.
Majdy said on April 3, 2003 09:08:
let see, it’s from Live Ism, where he said : Marie Fredriksson, she’s very short....
dubacik said on April 3, 2003 14:35:
“Jonas Akerlund used it for The Centre of The Heart video”.
/answer to question for Per on www.rox.se When he will buy new billiard boll to Leif´s Lounge. The boll Nr. 1 was missing in summer 2000/
Starrox said on April 3, 2003 14:43:
*ROFL* I wish I had copied all that questions and answers before they were deleted... *sigh*

“I’m looking forward to hear the new Britney Jackson!”
(When asked which album he was looking mor forward to, Britney Spears or Michael Jackson...)
“The worst hangover? I can’t remember, I tend to forget it quickly”
(When asked after which show he had the worst hangover on RS 01)
yoona said on April 16, 2003 08:25:
He was asked in the newest Frida ( Out now ) what kind of music does he prefer for kissing.
He answered :
I can´t mention anything.
I am totaly charmed when I am kissing so I can´t remember the music.”
silver-blue said on April 19, 2003 21:17:
Interviewer: “Tourism - when did the idea for the album come up?”
Per: “The idea for Tourism came up in a bar.....all good ideas come up in bars.”
daniel_alv said on April 19, 2003 22:28:
don’t know if it’s gessles but the text from the RS tour “Do what you want, but harm no one” it’s really great.... it is so true.... everyone should live there lives after that words!
kiwijazza said on April 20, 2003 00:39:
Q: “Per, is Cooper die?”
A: “Yes Cooper is die”.
I saw this one too. Never did understand it though.
LittleGirl78 said on April 20, 2003 08:15:
I remember me to a answer from a german Radiostation: The question was “Per do you must really inspirience on Marie that you can write a good Song for Marie´s voice?”
The answer: “I dressed ever Marie´s clothes if I write a Song for her”
This was laughed in the Radiostation and the Radio-man has very much hidding Per and called him “Have you dressed Marie´s pants? Then undress” Or “On the next Tour you must come on stage with Marie´s clothes”
Per said “sure”
And what happends? Was this on the RS-Tour Marie´s clothes?
LOL. Per is the best.
Jackie_Radiorox said on April 23, 2003 02:00:
Anyone mind if I use some of thes on the Gessle Girls, Gessleisms section?
Some are up there already, I was going through a bunch of interviews and live stuff. He’s an amusing dood!
click on gessleisms (Duh. :P)
Anarem said on April 23, 2003 02:07:
I used this one in my high school yearbook:
“If everything is square, you should do it round!”
(Per said this during the “Look Sharp!” era)
Roffe_Nygren said on April 26, 2003 08:10:
We’re having a 5 minutes break.
Per said this after the whole joyride period, I believe.
Twilight-Ghost said on April 26, 2003 13:39:
“Look at Marie and I...we still look good even though we are 128 years old!” -Per G.
CRIZ said on April 26, 2003 14:01:
About Tourism he said in a TV-Interview:
We always got better when we changed - on Tuesdays for example
Marie had a big laugh....Must have been an insiderjoke
SkyDrum said on April 26, 2003 15:18:
One of his best phrases...:
“For me, Art is just the diminutive of Arthur...”
Great one!
xuxa said on April 26, 2003 17:10:
I remember that in 1996 Per and Marie came to Portugal and they appeared in a tv program. The tv houster , Herman José, who is very popular here, asked:
” have you and Marie had sex before?”
Per answered: “not yet”.:)
vivien said on April 28, 2003 18:23:
Per was asked in a chat if Gabriel was a planned child or a “mistake”.
He answered: How can you mention Gabriel and ” mistake ” in the same sentence?
annaG said on April 30, 2003 18:45:
about his new album:
i can’t get any more personal than this!
:P :P :P :P :P :P :P
yoona said on May 10, 2003 11:10:
” Could you be so kind to remove the dogs?”
When he stayed at Four seasons in Bangkok in a luxury svit and opened the window and discovered 2 dead dogs under his window. So he called the reception and asked them to remove the dogs.
sunnshy said on May 12, 2003 15:29:
I just remebered 2 quotes, when Rox came the second time to mexico they asked what they remembered the most about Mexico and Per said: “the think i remember the most is that there was an earthquake”
And in the room service track by track: “that’s something i do thursday nights”
on_a_mission said on June 1, 2003 18:46:
possibly the most sarcastic comment ever:
’I like Oasis - its not everyone that get sued by the Rutles’
Gessle to Per: ’that’s an intelligent question coming from you’
Roxette-atic said on November 17, 2003 19:39:
I remembered one: on a swedis tv interview during the RS era the reporter asked about the fact that MTV had banned TCOTH video because of “the golf scene”.
Reporter took up a letter from a viewer and read:
“Marie, would you accept that someone ties you down and does that kind of things with a golf ball?”
Per to Marie;” but your husband likes golf doesent he?”.
Marie started to laught.
helle18 said on November 19, 2003 15:26:
I laughed my ass off when I read a chat session a few years ago. Someone on the chat asked Per which the first word he ever spoke was.
His answer; “My first word was, of course, kulmage” (which means a big, round stomach).
It really made no sense.
P-p-p-pelle said on November 19, 2003 17:23:
Prophetic words containing an error: “We gotta slow down a little bit. This is a song called things will never be the same”
It should have been ’we gotta shut down a little bit. This is a song called Roxette will never be the same’ ;-)
infofarmer said on November 20, 2003 16:21:
I’m sure most of you remember this from a greet:
Per: This is Marie.
Marie: And this is Per.
Per: And we are...
Marie: ...of course...
Per: Marie and Per :)
sofiab said on November 21, 2003 01:45:
In Bullen some years ago Marie said she had two wigs (for not to be recognized when shopping etc) and Per said:
- One Agneta-wig and one Frida-wig
yoona said on November 25, 2003 12:29:
K+ristian Luuk told him that they will play “angry game” ( they have to look at each other with serious face and the one who laughts first loses.)
Per said: The one with the worst breath wins!
zaine said on November 28, 2003 17:55:
this is maybe more a maire quote but anyway
Marie: “Per just ate a big spider!!”
Per: “She means lobster...”
Speedo said on March 14, 2003 18:36:
Another one:
“This is a song from the 80s, when Marie was really young, and I was even younger!”
