I never really understood the word ‘loneliness’. As far as I was concerned, I was in an orgy with the sky and the ocean, and with nature.

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

I feel Icelandic people are really good at gathering together information and brain power. We're better at that than some kind of Las Vegas money gambling.

And I think that is great in brain power stuff.
