     Thank you, that's a great interview.  Got most of it, but some really funny stuff happens with Google Translate....my favorite:

               ........ few months and see where Martin worked while he learned the digital ljudbearbarbetningssystemet ProTools.  :-D

You get the main idea by translating it with Google but it'd be awesome to know what it really says  :(

For example, I'm dying to know they mean by Rihannalåten in this sentence:

"- A good tip is that you should try to make music that you think is bold, instead of thinking that this will record company bosses like, because it sounds just like that Rihannalåten, he notes."

Låten means song and Rihanna is well, Rihanna  :)
So it translates to "the/that rihanna song"

"Nowadays he tries to work in a more "normal" times, he says, without sounding confident that he will succeed."

did he really say this or is this just a big fail from google translate?? can't imagine that he really said this!

"To date, he has managed to top the Billboard Hot 100 list five times, most recently by Taylor Swift We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together, and has collaborated with artists such as Britney Spears, Ke $ ha, Maroon 5, Usher, Christina Aguilera, Rihanna , Avril Lavigne, Sean Paul, Cher Lloyd and others."

hahaha, google translates Robyn with Rihanna - this is hilarious!

That is what he means. His body and mind couldn't handle working 15 hours on a daily, so now he's trying to work fewer hours like other people. But he doubts it will be so because when you're working with your hobby it's hard to stop.

aaaahhh I see ... I got it wrong! I thought he is already working at "normal" times and thus he won't have success anymore in the business.

but actually the word "success" was referred to the change of his working time. thx for explaining! :)

Very nice interview. He is really a interesting guy.

We had this questions here many times, here is the potential answer :)

QuoteSwedish songwriter ... why are so successful:
- Alice Tegner wrote a very catchy children's songs as you have been brainwashed with since childhood. Could it be from that?

Thanks. Shame on me. I didn't realise that it said Rihanna in the sentence hahaha! Sorry about that. My native language is spanish so translating from swedish to english and then to spanish gets a little confusing sometimes.
