Björk

“Singing is like a celebration of oxygen.”

“If you want to make something happen that hasn't happened before, you've got to allow yourself to be scary.”

“I have to re-create the universe every morning when I wake up, and kill it in the evening.”

“I think choosing between men and women is like choosing between cake and ice cream. You'd be a fool not to try both when there are so many different flavors.”

“Technology is a feminist issue.”

“You can't be a populist and an avant-gardist.”

“I am one of the most idiosyncratic people around.”

“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.”

“I am a humble tourist, I am not a patriot.”

“I'm a fountain of blood. In the shape of a girl.”

“I think it's important to be naive.”

“On my own I'm a recluse. I'm a loner. I'm a hermit.”

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

“People are always asking me about eskimos, but there are no eskimos in Iceland.”

“I am a pioneer. I am an explorer.”

“Usually when you see a female singer, she's on a pedestal, and she's unreachable. I'm a little more down to earth.”

“Nature is our chapel.”

“I love being a very personal singer-songwriter, but I also like being a scientist or explorer.”

“The less you talk, the more you're listened to.”
