It’s okay to be a little fucked up in the head. We all are. It’s only when you’re fucked up in the heart that makes you a piece of shit.
Wearing cheap clothes or driving an old car doesn’t make you broke. You got a family to feed not a community to impress.
If you don’t heal what hurt you, you’ll bleed on people who didn’t cut you.
They are some fools, excuse the expression, because they know the terms, and yet we must listen to the Norwegians’ pathetic statements every year. Many of us are fucking tired of that.
The superior man is modest in his speech, but exceeds in his actions .
Sometimes it’s strange being me. I travel the world meeting people, I’m surrounded with friends and my life is full, but all the time I am confronted by a young man I have nothing in common with. He is me, but he is not me now. In fact I have been me now for longer than I was him, but no one wants to know about me.
Is it cool to be Nicklas Bendtner right now? It’s always cool to be Nicklas Bendtner.
Don’t just read the easy stuff. You may be entertained by it, but you will never grow from it.
I am a bourgeois, but I am not a Left-woman. I was born a bourgeois, and I have always tried not to stand on a pedestal and say that I am a worker. That would be false talk. Nor during the many years when the red hirelings were around and held their noses at the thought of “Matador” and everything else I did. I’m not a peasant either. I was born a bourgeois, but that is why I can criticise the bourgeoisie and their shabby schemes, which I can easily see through.
Remember, when you point a finger at someone there are three more pointing back at you.
If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need.
I have an agreement with Lilholt and Olsen that we always play a Dalton song when we’re out on a solo tour, as it costs 280 kroner in Koda tax. It’s not much, but for them it’s a lot.
People ask if it is difficult to play while drunk. It’s not, as long as you make sure you are when you practice.
We may hold different points of view but it is in times of stress and difficulty that we most need to remember that we have much more in common than there is dividing us.
I’ve never tried that before, so I can probably do it well!
If you can not join them, beat them.
It’s worth remembering that it is often the small steps, not the giant leaps, that bring about the most lasting change.
Never listen to girls on how to get girls. If you’re trying to catch fish you don’t ask another fish. You ask the Fisherman.
In the band, we only drink three drinks a day: two golden beers and a bottle of port.
I dont do drugs. I am drugs.
We just have to go out and shout as loud as we can
I’m not wise, but the beginnings of wisdom are there; it’s like relaxing into – and accepting – things.

At my age, you think about the afterlife. I’m mostly inclined to think there’s nothing there, but sometimes I can’t help but let my imagination run wild. My good friend Ulla Steen says she believes that all of us who like each other meet in the big angel bar where we are expected.
