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.

If you want to make something happen that hasn't happened before , you've got to allow yourself to make a lot of mistakes.

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

I'm no buddhist, but this is fu**ing enlightmentment

I do believe sometimes discipline is very important. I'm not just lying around like a lazy cow all the time.

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

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.
