I learned what a lot of women have to do is make the guys in the room think it was their idea, and then you back them up.

When 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.

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.

Maybe I'll be a feminist in my old age.

I've written arrangements for choirs and strings in the past, but I usually write music with my voice or a keyboard and then I'll get someone who is good at writing scores to write it out. Or, if I have the luxury of time, I will go in a room and hear the people perform and then change it through what I hear, not on paper. I can read music OK, but I probably rebelled a little - music changes into something else when you read it.

You're a coward if you don't stand up. Not for you, but for women. Say something.

It takes a long time to fully become who you are.
