With tons of chaotic supply on the internet, you’re going to have people who become very good at being curators or stylists. It’s the same sort of people that I used to go to record shops for.

BJORKI’ve been traveling in Guatemala in the rainforest, and here all these houses are made of sticks. It seems so easy to make one.
BJORKI 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.
BJORKIf nothing else, I have money.
BJORKIf you wake up / And the day feels broken / Just lean into the crack
BJORKI get embarrassed listening to my last CDs. I’ve got a lot of work to do, let’s put it that way.
BJORKI’m not going to talk like I know about politics, because I’m a total amateur, but maybe I can be a spokesperson for people who aren’t normally interested in politics.
BJORKI want to support young girls who are in their 20s now and tell them: You’re not just imagining things. It’s tough.
BJORKI’ve always appreciated working with people I have chemistry with, who are friends, and where you feel that the work is growing while you are getting to know each other better.
BJORKPedaling through the dark currents, I find an accurate copy. A blue print of the pleasure in me.
BJORKI’ve written arrangements for choirs and strings in the past, but I usually write music with my voice or a keyboard and then I’ll get someone who is good at writing scores to write it out. Or, if I have the luxury of time.
BJORKI 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.
BJORKIn school, I guess I was a difficult, know-it-all type of student… I was always complaining that music education was too academic.
BJORKWhen I was a teenager in Iceland people would throw rocks and shout abuse at me because they thought I was weird. I never got that in London no matter what I wore.
BJORKPeople ask me questions like, “Oh, you look so theatrical in your photographs. Is that what you’re like when you walk down the street?” It’s like, “Of course not.” It’s such a silly question – it’s like being theatrical is a crime.
BJORKI am grateful… grapefruit.
