I think after Iceland's independence in 1944, we were not very sure of ourselves and our confidence was really low. It took one generation to sort of get over that. I'm second generation. My parents were born in 1945-46. Our movement at the punk times was like, we can sing in Icelandic, we are strong.
BjorkIt's funny how the hippies and the punks tried to get rid of the conservatives, but they always seem to get the upper hand in the end.
BjorkPeople ask me questions like, "Oh, you look so theatrical in your photographs. Is that what you're like when you walk down the street?" It's like, "Of course not." It's such a silly question - it's like being theatrical is a crime.
BjorkI definitely can feel the third or fourth feminist wave in the air, so maybe this is a good time to open that Pandoraโs box a little bit and air it out.
