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.

More quotes by 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
The reason I do interviews is because I'm protecting my songs.
Bjork
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.
Bjork
I'd done three solo albums in a row, and that's quite narcissistic.
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
I'm a fountain of blood in the shape of a girl . . . leave me now return tonight tide will show you the way if you forget my name you will go astray like a killer whale trapped in a bay

You want people to take risks, and OK, they fail, but you don't get the great stuff unless people are willing to risk and not play it safe. And maybe the Icelandic characteristic is better harnessed in these places than on the stock market.

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.

I have to re-create the universe every morning when I wake up, and kill it in the evening.
Bjork
Singing is like a celebration of oxygen.
Bjork
I definitely can feel the third or fourth feminist wave in the air, so maybe this is a good time to open that Pandora’s box a little bit and air it out.
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
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
What probably confuses people is they know a lot about me, but it quite pleases me that there's more they don't know.
Bjork
I have always had a certain song in my head, a certain chemistry of sounds.
Bjork
I don't really have an ego. I'm not that bothered.
Bjork
Believe it or not, I'm a bit clumsy with technology. It's probably why I'm so excited about the touchscreen - even an idiot can use it!
Bjork
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.

i thrive best hermit style. with a beard and a pipe.

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.
