I don't expect people to get me. That would be quite arrogant. I think there are a lot of people out there in the world that nobody gets.

I'm self-sufficient. I spend a lot of time on my own and I shut off quite easily. When I communicate, I communicate 900 per cent, then I shut off, which scares people sometimes.

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.

I love England. It's no coincidence it's the first place I moved to for a more cosmopolitan life, which is the only thing Iceland lacks.

Kids draw masterpieces - they're the best painters ever. I think the same with music. They could totally write amazing music if they just had the right tools. It's important at that age to set up something, and then maybe afterwards you can go study your violin for 500 hours a week. But at least in the beginning you know about the options.

I do try and wear stuff by unknown designers, and I make sure I pay because if nothing else I have money.

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.
