People are always asking me about eskimos, but there are no eskimos in Iceland.

I am one of the most idiosyncratic people around.

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

I get embarrassed listening to my last CDs. I've got a lot of work to do, let's put it that way.

[As a kid] I felt it was really weird that music schools behaved like a conveyor belt to make performers for those symphony orchestras. If you were really good and practiced your violin for a few hours a day for ten years you might be invited to this VIP elite club. For me music was not about that. It is about freedom and expression and individuality and impulsiveness and spontaneity. It wasn't so Apollonian; it was more Dionysian.

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.

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