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

There's something about the rhythm of walking, how, after about an hour and a half, the mind and body can't help getting in sync.

As a singer-songwriter, what I do is write about how the human feels.

It's a sign that you have a good work relationship if you don't have to analyze. That's usually a good sign within creative work.

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. It's sort of a contradiction, but that's how it works somehow.

I was very aware when I went to the Academy Awards that it would probably be my first and last time. So I thought my input should really be about fertility, and I thought I'd bring some eggs.

You shouldn't let poets lie to you.
