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!

More quotes by Bjork
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.
Bjork
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.
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
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.
Bjork
It takes a long time to fully become who you are.
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
I sometimes fall into the trap of doing what I think I should be doing rather than what I want to be doing.
Bjork
As a singer-songwriter, what I do is write about how the human feels.
Bjork
National Geographic contacted me about getting on their label, and I was like, 'Wow, I want to be label mates with the sharks and lemurs!'

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
People from the rock and roll world have felt for years that electronic music had no soul, but now electronic music can not only have soul but have all the shapes in the world.
Bjork
In school, I guess I was a difficult, know-it-all type of student... I was always complaining that music education was too academic.
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
How could I be so immature to think you could replace the missing elements in me. How extremely lazy of me.
Bjork
I have to re-create the universe every morning when I wake up, and kill it in the evening.
Bjork
People that complete other people's vision are understated.
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 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
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
I find it so amazing when people tell me that electronic music has no soul. You can't blame the computer. If there's no soul in the music, it's because nobody put it there.
Bjork
