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 get highs, to be totally honest, in second-hand shops. My hunting instinct, I expect, really kicks in.
BJORKI have to re-create the universe every morning when I wake up, and kill it in the evening.

BJORKI’m a whisper in water.
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.
