Quote

It seems that most the world is driven by the eye, right? They design cities to look great but they always sound horrible ... They design telephones to look great, but they sound horrible. I think it was about time that the other senses were celebrated.

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

I think choosing between men and women is like choosing between cake and ice cream. You'd be daft not to try both when there are so many different flavors.

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

Now that rock is turning 50, it's become classical in itself. It's interesting to see that development.

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.

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

I have to re-create the universe every morning when I wake up, and kill it in the evening.

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.

I'd done three solo albums in a row, and that's quite narcissistic.

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.

It takes a long time to fully become who you are.

I just feel like making things solar-powered and wind-powered should be as easy as using an iPad.

I love England. It's no coincidence it's the first place I moved to for a more cosmopolitan life, which is the only thing Iceland lacks.

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 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.

How could I be so immature to think you could replace the missing elements in me. How extremely lazy of me.
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.

Singing is like a celebration of oxygen.

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

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.
