People from the rock and roll world have felt for years that electronic music had no soul, but now electronic music can not only have soul but have all the shapes in the world.

I thought I could organise freedom/How Scandinavian of me.

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

Being a musician is very easy. My house is full of musical instruments. There's a lot of music, always.

I don't really have an ego. I'm not that bothered.

I'm a little nervous. Definitely. Especially coming from an album like Biophilia, which was about the universe. This is more of a traditional singer/songwriter thing. When I started writing, I fought against it. I thought it was way too boring and predictable. But most of the time, it just happens; there's nothing you can do. You have to let it be what it is.

I am grateful... grapefruit.
