More quotes by Bjork
People are always asking me about eskimos, but there are no eskimos in Iceland.
Bjork
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.
Bjork
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.
Bjork
If nothing else, I have money.
Bjork
Usually when you see females in movies, they feel like they have these metallic structures around them, they are caged in by male energy.
Bjork
Pedaling through the dark currents, I find an accurate copy. A blue print of the pleasure in me.
Bjork
Being a musician is very easy. My house is full of musical instruments. There's a lot of music, always.
Bjork
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.
Bjork
Iceland sets a world-record. The United Nations asked people from all over the world a series of questions. Iceland stuck out on one thing. When we were asked what do we believe, 90% said, 'ourselves'. I think I'm in that group. If I get into trouble, there's no God or Allah to sort me out. I have to do it myself.
Bjork
The English can be a very critical, unforgiving people, but criticism can be good. And this is a country that loves comedy.
Bjork
When I was 20, political music was the uncoolest thing on earth. But when Bush got elected, that was the first time I started actually reading the news.
Bjork
I feel like the people from Iceland have a different relationship with their country than other places. 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.
Bjork
i'm back at my cliff still throwing things off i listen to the sounds they make on their way down i follow him with my eyes 'till they crash imagine what my body would sound like slamming against those rocks.
Bjork
i thrive best hermit style. with a beard and a pipe.
Bjork
People that complete other people's vision are understated.
Bjork
I'm a whisper in water.
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.
Bjork
I am one of the most idiosyncratic people around.
Bjork
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.
Bjork
There's no map to human behaviour.
