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.

More quotes by 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?

I definitely can feel the third or fourth feminist wave in the air, so maybe this is a good time to open that Pandora’s box a little bit and air it out.

I never really understood the word ‘loneliness’. As far as I was concerned, I was in an orgy with the sky and the ocean, and with nature.
Bjork
It's nice and quiet but soon again starts another big riot!
Bjork
I get obsessed by little nerdy things in my corner that no one else is interested in.

If I had a philosophy, it's that I support the beautiful side of anarchy.

Football is a fertility festival. Eleven sperm trying to get into the egg. I feel sorry for the goalkeeper.

National Geographic contacted me about getting on their label, and I was like, 'Wow, I want to be label mates with the sharks and lemurs!'

What probably confuses people is they know a lot about me, but it quite pleases me that there's more they don't know.

The reason I do interviews is because I'm protecting my songs.

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.

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
The reason I do photographs is to help people understand my music, so it's very important that I am the same, emotionally, in the photographs as in the music. Most people's eyes are much better developed than their ears. If they see a certain emotion in the photograph, then they'll understand the music.

I get highs, to be totally honest, in second-hand shops. My hunting instinct, I expect, really kicks in.

I have nothing against Kanye West. Help me with this - I'm not dissing him - this is about how people talk about him. With the last album he did, he got all the best beatmakers on the planet at the time to make beats for him. A lot of the time, he wasn't even there. Yet no one would question his authorship for a second.

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.

You want people to take risks, and OK, they fail, but you don't get the great stuff unless people are willing to risk and not play it safe. And maybe the Icelandic characteristic is better harnessed in these places than on the stock market.

When I was 18, science, physics, and math were my favorite. I was a bit of a nerd - the only girl with a lot of boys at chess championships.
Bjork
If you can make nature and technology friends, then you can make everyone friends you can make everyone intact. That's what women do a lot - they're the glue between a lot of things.

I sometimes fall into the trap of doing what I think I should be doing rather than what I want to be doing.
