I'm not sure if it's because I'm older and I'm thinking about family more, but I'm trying to set up this thing where I can play in one city for a month, and then write music for a couple months, then play in another city for a month, write music for a month. Just so it's not these two schizophrenic, Jekyll and Hyde kind of things; you don't have to be this monster. You get inspired and you can go write one song from that, and then you go back and play a few shows. If I could've done that in the 90s, I would have.

What probably confuses people is they know a lot about me, but it quite pleases me that there's more they don't know.

How could I be so immature to think you could replace the missing elements in me. How extremely lazy of me.

There is this stereotype of Icelanders all believing in spirits, and I've played up to that a bit in interviews.

I guess I'm quite used to not being understood rather than being understood.

Emotions weren’t created to just lie around. You should experience things to the full. I’ve got a sense of the clock ticking. We have to feel all those things to the maximum. Like, I don’t eat a lot but I really love eating. And I like being precise and particular. There is a certain respect in that. If you can do your day depending on how you feel, and enjoy things as well.

You shouldn't let poets lie to you.
