More quotes by Bjork
The relationship changes as you learn more about people, and the work sort of takes on its own life. I enjoy this very much.
Bjork
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.
Bjork
I'm going to prove the impossible really exists
Bjork
If nothing else, I have money.
Bjork
Usually when you see females in movies, they feel like they have these metallic structures around them, they are caged in by male energy.
Bjork
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.
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.

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.
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 guess I'm quite used to not being understood rather than being understood.
Bjork
I sometimes fall into the trap of doing what I think I should be doing rather than what I want to be doing.
Bjork
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.
Bjork
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.
Bjork
I don't expect people to get me. That would be quite arrogant. I think there are a lot of people out there in the world that nobody gets.
Bjork
It's nice and quiet but soon again starts another big riot!
Bjork
Icelandic peoples were the ones who memorized sagas... We were the first rappers of Europe.
Bjork
The English can be a very critical, unforgiving people, but criticism can be good. And this is a country that loves comedy.
Bjork
The reason I do interviews is because I'm protecting my songs.
Bjork
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.
Bjork
I love being a very personal singer-songwriter, but I also like being a scientist or explorer.
