Quote

Part of me is probably more conservative than people realise. I like my old string quartets, I don't like music that's trippy for trippy's sake.

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.

I have always had a certain song in my head, a certain chemistry of sounds.

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.

The English can be a very critical, unforgiving people, but criticism can be good. And this is a country that loves comedy.

I don't like records that are the same from beginning to end, that are too styled and slick. Everything is so designed and airbrushed and Botoxed, it makes us think, 'Oh, everybody's perfect except me. Everything's smooth except me.' But nothing is smooth.

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.

I love hiking in Iceland most, there are lots of brilliant paths.

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

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

Formats are just illusions, and it's about the relationship between the person that makes music and the person that listens to music. Every time there's a new format, the iron is hot, and you can mold it.

I am one of the most idiosyncratic people around.

People are always asking me about eskimos, but there are no eskimos in Iceland.

I love being a very personal singer-songwriter, but I also like being a scientist or explorer.

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'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.

I feel the 21st century is another new age. Not only can we collaborate again with nature, but we have to. It's an emergency.
