I always wanted to be a farmer. There is a tradition of that in my family.

I love being a very personal singer-songwriter, but I also like being a scientist or explorer.

It wasn't just one journalist getting it wrong, everybody was getting it wrong.

I've written arrangements for choirs and strings in the past, but I usually write music with my voice or a keyboard and then I'll get someone who is good at writing scores to write it out. Or, if I have the luxury of time, I will go in a room and hear the people perform and then change it through what I hear, not on paper. I can read music OK, but I probably rebelled a little - music changes into something else when you read it.

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. I mean, I really admire the characteristics in Icelandics, this adventureism. We are famous for it. We are addicted to risk to the point of being foolhardy. And I think that is great in brain power stuff.

It's a sign that you have a good work relationship if you don't have to analyze. That's usually a good sign within creative work.
