Zitat des Tages von Bjork:
Football is a fertility festival. Eleven sperm trying to get into the egg. I feel sorry for the goalkeeper.
The reason I do interviews is because I'm protecting my songs.
Usually when you see females in movies, they feel like they have these metallic structures around them, they are caged in by male energy.
I would like to teach music. It's weird the way they teach music in schools like Julliard these days.
I'm just like anybody. I have my ups and downs.
Now that rock is turning 50, it's become classical in itself. It's interesting to see that development.
Believe it or not, I'm a bit clumsy with technology. It's probably why I'm so excited about the touchscreen - even an idiot can use it!
People that complete other people's vision are understated.
I sometimes fall into the trap of doing what I think I should be doing rather than what I want to be doing.
While you're setting something up that's educational for yourself, you have an opportunity to teach others at the same time.
There's no map to human behaviour.
I think connecting natural elements and musicology is probably pretty idiosyncratic of me, so it is hard to imagine anyone else going down that route.
If nothing else, I have money.
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 get obsessed by little nerdy things in my corner that no one else is interested in.
A lot of the time I get obsessed by little nerdy things in my corner that no one else is interested in. I have that nerd factor in my character.
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.
I started an all-girl punk band when I was 14, and I was the drummer, not the singer.
With my projects, I really like the extreme high-tech stuff, but I also like the other end, the acoustic things. So it seems like those meet on an iPad, where you make shapes but the sounds coming out of it are really acoustic.
There is this stereotype of Icelanders all believing in spirits, and I've played up to that a bit in interviews.
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.
I always wanted to be a farmer. There is a tradition of that in my family.
I do try and wear stuff by unknown designers, and I make sure I pay because if nothing else I have money.
I am one of the most idiosyncratic people around.
I've always appreciated working with people I have chemistry with, who are friends, and where you feel that the work is growing while you are getting to know each other better.
Nature hasn't gone anywhere. It is all around us, all the planets, galaxies and so on. We are nothing in comparison.
I love being a very personal singer-songwriter, but I also like being a scientist or explorer.
I'd done three solo albums in a row, and that's quite narcissistic.
My first album didn't come out until I was 27, which in pop years is late, you know. But when it came time to arrange it, I became a kid in a toy shop. I had a harp and a saxophone quartet and a symphony orchestra. I went berserk for a time.
I get embarrassed listening to my last CDs. I've got a lot of work to do, let's put it that way.
Most Icelandic people are really proud to be from there, and we don't have embarrassments like World War II where we were cruel to other people. We don't even have an army. So it's sort of like an all-around good, innocent place.
We didn't really have television when I was a kid. Around 30, I discovered films and started systematically catching up. I collect interesting documentaries and films, and watch a few nights a week.
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.
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.
Maybe I'll be a feminist in my old age.
The English can be a very critical, unforgiving people, but criticism can be good. And this is a country that loves comedy.
