I'm not going to talk like I know about politics, because I'm a total amateur, but maybe I can be a spokesperson for people who aren't normally interested in politics.

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

Solar power, wind power, the way forward is to collaborate with nature - it's the only way we are going to get to the other end of the 21st century.

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

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

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

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.

Usually when you see females in movies, they feel like they have these metallic structures around them, they are caged in by male energy.

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.

I'm self-sufficient. I spend a lot of time on my own and I shut off quite easily. When I communicate, I communicate 900 per cent, then I shut off, which scares people sometimes.

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.

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.

I never want to know the range of my voice. It has to be impulsive, and I don't want to kill the mystery.

When I was a teenager in Iceland people would throw rocks and shout abuse at me because they thought I was weird. I never got that in London no matter what I wore.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.
