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.

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'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.

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

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.

When I met Apple, I made it very clear that I am an old punk and I have never done commercials or been sponsored. And I wasn't after their money.

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.

If you can make nature and technology friends, then you can make everyone friends you can make everyone intact. That's what women do a lot - they're the glue between a lot of things.

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.

Football is a fertility festival. Eleven sperm trying to get into the egg. I feel sorry for the goalkeeper.

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.

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

If I had a philosophy, it's that I support the beautiful side of anarchy.

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

I get obsessed by little nerdy things in my corner that no one else is interested 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.
