BJORKI don’t expect people to get me. That would be quite arrogant. I think there are a lot of people out there in the world that nobody gets.
BJORKI try not to record them on my Dictaphone when I first hear them. If I forget all about it and it pops up later on, then I know it’s good enough. I let my subconscious do the editing for me.
BJORKI knew if certain people recommended something, it would be good. There’s always going to be those people. It just depends on what they’re called: curators or radio jockeys or bloggers.
BJORKEverything that a guy says once, you have to say five times.
BJORKIt seems that most the world is driven by the eye, right? They design cities to look great but they always sound horrible …
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.
BJORKMaybe I’ll be a feminist in my old age.
BJORKI’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.
BJORKYou’re a coward if you don’t stand up. Not for you, but for women. Say something.
BJORKA lot of it is really bad sound, really low quality. So the librarian in me wants it at least to exist there so that in 20 years when I’m sitting in my rocking chair, it will still exist in the best sound quality possible, even though it only sold 1000 units or whatever.
BJORKYou 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.
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 guess I’m quite used to not being understood rather than being understood.
BJORKI 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. It’s sort of a contradiction, but that’s how it works somehow.
BJORKIt’s incredible how nature sets females up to take care of people, and yet it is tricky for them to take care of themselves.
