 For a person as obsessed with music as I am, I always hear a song in the back of my head, all the time, and that usually is my own tune. I've done that all my life. |
| I'd done three solo albums in a row, and that's quite narcissistic. |
| I love England. It's no coincidence it's the first place I moved to for a more cosmopolitan life, which is the only thing Iceland lacks. |
| I would like to teach music. It's weird the way they teach music in schools like Julliard these days. |
| I'm not going to talk like I know about politics, because I'm a total amateur, but maybe I can be a spokesperson for people who aren't normally interested in politics. |
| Compared to America or Europe, God isn't a big part of our lives here. I don't know anyone here who goes to church when he's had a rough divorce or is going through depression. We go out into nature instead. |
| The reason I do interviews is because I'm protecting my songs. |
| It's incredible how nature sets females up to take care of people, and yet it is tricky for them to take care of themselves. |
| It's funny how the hippies and the punks tried to get rid of the conservatives, but they always seem to get the upper hand in the end. |
| There is this stereotype of Icelanders all believing in spirits, and I've played up to that a bit in interviews. |
| I do believe sometimes discipline is very important. I'm not just lying around like a lazy cow all the time. |
| Now that rock is turning 50, it's become classical in itself. It's interesting to see that development. |
| I'm a fountain of blood. In the shape of a girl. |
| I always wanted to be a farmer. There is a tradition of that in my family. |
| When I was a teenager in Iceland people would throw rocks and shout abuse at me because they thought I was weird. I never got that in London no matter what I wore. |
| Maybe I'll be a feminist in my old age. |
| I get obsessed by little nerdy things in my corner that no one else is interested in. |
| Football is a fertility festival. Eleven sperm trying to get into the egg. I feel sorry for the goalkeeper. |
| People are always asking me about eskimos, but there are no eskimos in Iceland. |
| Usually when you see females in movies, they feel like they have these metallic structures around them, they are caged in by male energy. |
