More quotes by Bjork
If I had a philosophy, it's that I support the beautiful side of anarchy.
Bjork
I sometimes fall into the trap of doing what I think I should be doing rather than what I want to be doing.
Bjork
I want to support young girls who are in their 20s now and tell them: You're not just imagining things. It's tough. Everything that a guy says once, you have to say five times.
Bjork
Sometimes when I write lyrics there are images in them, usually on a quite simplistic level, like colors. But most often music comes first and then later I sit down with visual people and we chat about what we want to do. I don't look at myself as a visual artist. I make music.
Bjork
Now that rock is turning 50, it's become classical in itself. It's interesting to see that development.
Bjork
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.
Bjork
I was very aware when I went to the Academy Awards that it would probably be my first and last time. So I thought my input should really be about fertility, and I thought I'd bring some eggs.
Bjork
I learned what a lot of women have to do is make the guys in the room think it was their idea, and then you back them up.
Bjork
I've never done an album like this. With Biophilia, I was being like Kofi Annan - I had to be the pacifist to try to unite the impossible. Maybe that was a strange, personal job between me and myself, to show how overreaching I was being as a woman. The only way I could express that was by comparing it to the universe.
Bjork
I'm a bit of a nerd, I wouldn't mind working in a shop selling records, or having a radio show where I could play obscure singles.
Bjork
Being a musician is very easy. My house is full of musical instruments. There's a lot of music, always.
Bjork
I think after Iceland's independence in 1944, we were not very sure of ourselves and our confidence was really low. It took one generation to sort of get over that. I'm second generation. My parents were born in 1945-46. Our movement at the punk times was like, we can sing in Icelandic, we are strong.
Bjork
I am one of the most idiosyncratic people around.
Bjork
In school, I guess I was a difficult, know-it-all type of student... I was always complaining that music education was too academic.
Bjork
There have been so many articles written in the papers that want to just eliminate the environmental values business and just build aluminum factories now. But there have been an equal amount of articles of people saying listen, you just went on a money binge, are you gonna go on another binge now?
Bjork
I love being a very personal singer-songwriter, but I also like being a scientist or explorer.
Bjork
I never want to know the range of my voice. It has to be impulsive, and I don't want to kill the mystery.
Bjork
I'm a whisper in water.
Bjork
I’ve been traveling in Guatemala in the rainforest, and here all these houses are made of sticks. It seems so easy to make one.
Bjork
People that complete other people's vision are understated.
