The English can be a very critical, unforgiving people, but criticism can be good. And this is a country that loves comedy.

Football is a fertility festival. Eleven sperm trying to get into the egg. I feel sorry for the goalkeeper.

The reason I do interviews is because I'm protecting my songs.

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

Icelandic people are really educated. But maybe we are at where the people in the States were 50 years ago, where they think that stuff that isn't done with a hammer or physical power is not a job. It's that backwards.

I find it so amazing when people tell me that electronic music has no soul. You can't blame the computer. If there's no soul in the music, it's because nobody put it there.

Our times seem to be so much about redefining where we are physical and where we're not. For me, it is really exciting to take the cutting edge technology and take it as far as it can get virtually, use it to describe/control the musicology or the behavior of raw natural elements, and then plug it with a sound source which is the most acoustic one there is - like gamelan and pipe organ. So you get the extremes: very virtual and very physical. In that way you shift the physicality.
