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.

More quotes by Bjork
Icelandic peoples were the ones who memorized sagas... We were the first rappers of Europe.
Bjork
I don't like records that are the same from beginning to end, that are too styled and slick. Everything is so designed and airbrushed and Botoxed, it makes us think, 'Oh, everybody's perfect except me. Everything's smooth except me.' But nothing is smooth.
Bjork
Feminists bore me to death. I follow my instinct and if that supports young girls in any way, great. But I'd rather they saw it more as a lesson about following their own instincts rather than imitating somebody.
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 love being a very personal singer-songwriter, but I also like being a scientist or explorer.
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
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.
Bjork
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?
Bjork
Pedaling through the dark currents, I find an accurate copy. A blue print of the pleasure in me.
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
I learned what a lot of women have to do is make the guys in the room think it was their idea, and then you back them up.
Bjork
i thrive best hermit style. with a beard and a pipe.
Bjork
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.
Bjork
I never want to know the range of my voice. It has to be impulsive, and I don't want to kill the mystery.
Bjork
Now that rock is turning 50, it's become classical in itself. It's interesting to see that development.
Bjork
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.
Bjork
It's nice and quiet but soon again starts another big riot!
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
I'm a whisper in water.
Bjork
People are always going to need physicality they're going to want to meet other people even more. I've got faith in the physical angle. People have their needs. They won't forget about them.
