- During ABBA's early years, the group decided that she should use the name "Anna" because many non-Scandinavians found it difficult to properly pronounce "Agnetha." Her full name is pronounced AG-NEH-TAH FELTS-koog. The name "Agnetha" is the Scandinavian form of the name "Agnes" (a Greek name meaning "pure"). It is not related to the name "Anna" (derived from the Hebrew name "Hannah" meaning "gracious").
- Won Europe's "Sexiest Bottom" award in 1977.
- Split up with Bjorn ulvaeus in autumn 1978
- Had a number 1 record in Sweden in 1968, "Jag Var Så Kär." (I Was So In Love).
- Has a fear of flying.
- I just want to live in peace and quiet.
- There is a danger of changing too much in the search for perfection.
- I have always had strong maternal instincts. Even when I was still a child I cut out pictures of prams from newspapers and imagined the feeling of pushing my own pram through fresh winter snow and seeing the wheels' tracks behind me in the snow.
- My path has not been determined. I shall have more experiences and pass many more milestones.
- I can spot empty flattery and know exactly where I stand. In the end it's really only my own approval or disapproval that means anything.
