I'm a whisper in water.

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.

Iceland sets a world-record. The United Nations asked people from all over the world a series of questions. Iceland stuck out on one thing. When we were asked what do we believe, 90% said, 'ourselves'. I think I'm in that group. If I get into trouble, there's no God or Allah to sort me out. I have to do it myself.

I always wanted to be a farmer. There is a tradition of that in my family.

I have always had a certain song in my head, a certain chemistry of sounds.

There's definitely, definitely, definitely, no logic to human behaviour . . . There's no map And a compass Wouldn't help at all

In school, I guess I was a difficult, know-it-all type of student... I was always complaining that music education was too academic.
