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. – Bjork
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. – Bjork
There is such a big chunk of me that is David Attenborough. I think he is my biggest inspiration. – Bjork
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. – Bjork
I do believe sometimes discipline is very important. I’m not just lying around like a lazy cow all the time. – Bjork
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. – Bjork
I sometimes fall into the trap of doing what I think I should be doing rather than what I want to be doing. – Bjork
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. – Bjork
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. – Bjork
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. – Bjork
I bought a laptop in 1999, and it was quite liberating, because I could make a lot of my own decisions. – Bjork
I’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. – Bjork
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. – Bjork
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. – Bjork
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. – Bjork
I think every year brings unknowns that you have to deal with and handle, confront and embrace. – Bjork
Being a musician is very easy. My house is full of musical instruments. There’s a lot of music, always. – Bjork
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. – Bjork
Usually when you see females in movies, they feel like they have these metallic structures around them, they are caged in by male energy. – Bjork
