Tobias Forge : (4) " It would have been easy to try to make ‘Opus Eponymous II’ and just stick with a routine. But it just felt like, if this is going to go anywhere, we need to take big steps every time. " - Tobias Forge " I grew up in Sweden. It’s a profoundly Americanized country. We have a strong tradition of Americana and always had non-dubbed American television, and embracing American culture a lot, so I always knew that I wanted to go to America. " - Tobias Forge " Since I remember still very clearly what it was like not being popular or in a successful band, I know that things go up and down, and you cannot expect this to be on the same trajectory forever. It won’t be. Because even if you get to be the biggest band in the world, it’s gonna change. " - Tobias Forge " My mom is very liberal. She has never been religious… spiritual but not religious.
