Me
|

Usually when you see females in movies, they feel like they have these metallic structures around them, they are caged in by male energy.

Nov 07, 2020

There is this stereotype of Icelanders all believing in spirits, and I've played up to that a bit in interviews.

Interviews

The reason I do interviews is because I'm protecting my songs.

Maybe
|

Maybe I'll be a feminist in my old age.

Females
|

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.

End
|
Nov 07, 2020

It's funny how the hippies and the punks tried to get rid of the conservatives, but they always seem to get the upper hand in the end.

Nov 07, 2020

If nothing else, I have money.

Like
|

Quite
|
Nov 07, 2020

I'd done three solo albums in a row, and that's quite narcissistic.

Music
|
Nov 07, 2020

I would like to teach music. It's weird the way they teach music in schools like Julliard these days.

Fall
|
Nov 07, 2020

I sometimes fall into the trap of doing what I think I should be doing rather than what I want to be doing.

Life
|
Nov 07, 2020

Listening

Family
|
Nov 07, 2020

I always wanted to be a farmer. There is a tradition of that in my family.

Music
|
Nov 07, 2020

For a person as obsessed with music as I am, I always hear a song in the back of my head, all the time, and that usually is my own tune. I've done that all my life.

Church
|
Nov 07, 2020

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.

Grateful

Nov 07, 2020

I am a grateful... grapefruit.

Feel
|
Nov 07, 2020

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

Great
|
Nov 07, 2020

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.

Music
|
Nov 07, 2020

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.

Like
|
Nov 07, 2020

Singing is like a celebration of oxygen.

People

Here
|
Nov 07, 2020

I've been traveling in Guatemala in the rainforest, and here all these houses are made of sticks. It seems so easy to make one.

Nov 07, 2020

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.

Lose
|
Nov 07, 2020

But I'm not interested in politics. I lose interest the microsecond it ceases to be emotional, when something becomes a political movement. What I'm interested in is emotions.

Nothing
|
Nov 07, 2020

I do try and wear stuff by unknown designers, and I make sure I pay because if nothing else I have money.

Corner
|
Nov 07, 2020

A lot of the time I get obsessed by little nerdy things in my corner that no one else is interested in. I have that nerd factor in my character.

More

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.

Feel
|
Nov 07, 2020

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.

Music
|
Nov 07, 2020

In 2008, I was more just thinking about using the touchscreen for writing the songs. From there I started thinking about how I visualised music.

Iceland

Nov 07, 2020

I love hiking in Iceland most, there are lots of brilliant paths.

Ideal
|
Nov 07, 2020

Seventy per cent humidity is ideal for vocal cords.

Life
|
Nov 07, 2020

I have written most of my melodies walking and I feel it is definitely one of the most helpful ways of sewing all of the different things in your life together and seeing the whole picture.

Body
|
Nov 07, 2020

There's something about the rhythm of walking, how, after about an hour and a half, the mind and body can't help getting in sync.

Being
|
Nov 07, 2020

Being a musician is very easy. My house is full of musical instruments. There's a lot of music, always.

How
|
Nov 07, 2020

As a singer-songwriter, what I do is write about how the human feels.

Energy
|
Nov 07, 2020

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.

Nov 07, 2020

I think every year brings unknowns that you have to deal with and handle, confront and embrace.

People
|
Nov 07, 2020

Guess
|
Nov 07, 2020

Know
|
Nov 07, 2020

What probably confuses people is they know a lot about me, but it quite pleases me that there's more they don't know.

I Am
|
Nov 07, 2020

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.

Idiot
|
Nov 07, 2020

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!

Make
|
Nov 07, 2020

I bought a laptop in 1999, and it was quite liberating, because I could make a lot of my own decisions.

Music
|
Nov 07, 2020

In '96, I was in a very specific place with my own music - I was only listening to beats. You would come to my house, and I would just play beats all day.

Music
|
Nov 07, 2020

When I was 20, political music was the uncoolest thing on earth.

Outside
|
Nov 07, 2020

I mostly write on my own, walking, outside.

Get
|
Nov 07, 2020

Just
|
Nov 07, 2020

I'm just like anybody. I have my ups and downs.

Find
|
Nov 07, 2020

I find most children quite inspiring.

Nov 07, 2020

We didn't really have television when I was a kid. Around 30, I discovered films and started systematically catching up. I collect interesting documentaries and films, and watch a few nights a week.

Nov 07, 2020

It would be flattering to be thought of as someone who celebrated life.

Good
|
Nov 07, 2020

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. We don't even have an army. So it's sort of like an all-around good, innocent place.

Country
|
Nov 07, 2020

Maybe it's just a personal thing, but I get so much grounding from Iceland because I know it's always going to be there. I have a very happy, healthy relationship with the country, so it's really easy to go everywhere because I always have Iceland to go back to.

Lose
|
Nov 07, 2020

I'm not interested in politics. I lose interest the microsecond it ceases to be emotional, when something becomes a political movement. What I'm interested in is emotions.

Know
|
Nov 07, 2020

My first album didn't come out until I was 27, which in pop years is late, you know. But when it came time to arrange it, I became a kid in a toy shop. I had a harp and a saxophone quartet and a symphony orchestra. I went berserk for a time.

Nov 07, 2020

While you're setting something up that's educational for yourself, you have an opportunity to teach others at the same time.

Always
|
Nov 07, 2020

In order to actually have a touchscreen in front of me and somehow still be connected to nature, I needed to be able to incorporate natural elements into the song structures. Because that's always been my song-writing accompaniment: nature.

People
|
Nov 07, 2020

When I was a punk teenager, I rebelled because lots of people in Iceland think that foreigners are evil and that if you don't wear woolen hats and eat sheep, you're betraying your heritage.

Free
|
Nov 07, 2020

I went through an anti-Establishment phase and thought we should get everything for free.

Mistake
|
Nov 07, 2020

I think religion is a mistake - I'm exhausted by its self-righteousness. I think atheists should start screaming for attention like religious folks do.

Business
|
Nov 07, 2020

The funeral business is so manipulative emotionally. I would want to be thrown into the sea or burned - something that's not a big hassle.

Hard
|
Nov 07, 2020

I think connecting natural elements and musicology is probably pretty idiosyncratic of me, so it is hard to imagine anyone else going down that route.

Me
|
Nov 07, 2020

Nature has always been important to me. It has always been in my music.

Never
|
Nov 07, 2020

In Reykjavik, Iceland, where I was born, you are in the middle of nature surrounded by mountains and ocean. But you are still in a capital in Europe. So I have never understood why I have to choose between nature or urban.

Nature
|
Nov 07, 2020

Nature hasn't gone anywhere. It is all around us, all the planets, galaxies and so on. We are nothing in comparison.

Control
|
Nov 07, 2020

Since I was a kid, I always wanted to figure out how to make a bass line that was a pendulum - like, gravity would control it, and then you could make it play different notes.

Music
|
Nov 07, 2020

I went to music school, and I guess I was a difficult, know-it-all type of student.

Good
|
Nov 07, 2020

The good thing about Pro Tools is you can actually hear what you're working on, so it doesn't just become this intellectual idea. But Pro Tools can be dangerous, too. It can make things sterile.

Like
|
Nov 07, 2020

With my projects, I really like the extreme high-tech stuff, but I also like the other end, the acoustic things. So it seems like those meet on an iPad, where you make shapes but the sounds coming out of it are really acoustic.

Girl
|
Nov 07, 2020

Most people in Iceland are blonde and blue-eyed. I was nicknamed 'China girl' in school 'cos they thought I looked Asian.

Like
|
Nov 07, 2020

In elections in Iceland, I have always been an abstainer. It seems like politics is such a small bundle of self-important people, who don't have much to do with things I'm interested in.

Myself
|
Nov 07, 2020

Living in a capital in Europe but still surrounded by mountains and ocean, my relationship to music was strongest walking to school and back. I would sing to myself and very quickly started mapping out my melodies to landscapes - at the time I just thought it was very matter of fact, a common thing to do.

Decision
|
Nov 07, 2020

With a small town mentality, you make a decision very early on as to whether you are going to do everything by the book or just go your own way and not care.

Chunk
|
Nov 07, 2020

There is such a big chunk of me that is David Attenborough. I think he is my biggest inspiration.

Nov 07, 2020

The English eat all sorts of birds - pigeons, ducks, sparrows - but if you tell them you eat puffin, you might as well come from Mars.

Hip-Hop
|
Nov 07, 2020

Come on, I'm from Iceland; I don't do hip-hop.

Love
|
Nov 07, 2020

I do love one-upmanship sometimes, like when you see kids breakdancing and who can do the best tricks. It's common, it's in our nature as animals, like the birds of paradise who've got the best feathers and that sort of stuff. But it's fun when it's impulsive and it's about fun.

Drummer
|
Nov 07, 2020

I started an all-girl punk band when I was 14, and I was the drummer, not the singer.

Power
|
Nov 07, 2020

Solar power, wind power, the way forward is to collaborate with nature - it's the only way we are going to get to the other end of the 21st century.
