There is this stereotype of Icelanders all believing in spirits, and I've played up to that a bit in interviews.

I’ve been traveling in Guatemala in the rainforest, and here all these houses are made of sticks. It seems so easy to make one.

If I had a philosophy, it's that I support the beautiful side of anarchy.

I guess I'm quite used to not being understood rather than being understood.

I feel like the people from Iceland have a different relationship with their country than other places. Most Icelandic people are really proud to be from there, and we don’t have embarrassments like World War II where we were cruel to other people.

I get obsessed by little nerdy things in my corner that no one else is interested in.

Sometimes when I write lyrics there are images in them, usually on a quite simplistic level, like colors. But most often music comes first and then later I sit down with visual people and we chat about what we want to do. I don't look at myself as a visual artist. I make music.
