Maybe it's just a personal thing, but I get so much grounding from Iceland because I know it's always going to be there. I have a very happy, healthy relationship with the country, so it's really easy to go everywhere because I always have Iceland to go back to. It's sort of a contradiction, but that's how it works somehow.

Icelandic peoples were the ones who memorized sagas... We were the first rappers of Europe.

I would like to teach music. It's weird the way they teach music in schools like Julliard these days.

When I was a teenager in Iceland people would throw rocks and shout abuse at me because they thought I was weird. I never got that in London no matter what I wore.

I'm self-sufficient. I spend a lot of time on my own and I shut off quite easily. When I communicate, I communicate 900 per cent, then I shut off, which scares people sometimes.

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

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