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.

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

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

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

Image
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.

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.

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.

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

If nothing else, I have money.

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.

Sometimes, when I have a lot of ideas and I want to do a lot of things, or when I'm traveling, I lose energy and I can't do as many things as I want. So I have to plan days when I'm not doing anything. I find that a bit boring, but it's necessary.

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

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.

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

I don't really have an ego. I'm not that bothered.

Pedaling through the dark currents, I find an accurate copy. A blue print of the pleasure in me.
