I never want to know the range of my voice. It has to be impulsive, and I don't want to kill the mystery.

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

I don't like records that are the same from beginning to end, that are too styled and slick. Everything is so designed and airbrushed and Botoxed, it makes us think, 'Oh, everybody's perfect except me. Everything's smooth except me.' But nothing is smooth.

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 get highs, to be totally honest, in second-hand shops. My hunting instinct, I expect, really kicks in.

I don't expect people to get me. That would be quite arrogant. I think there are a lot of people out there in the world that nobody gets.

All we had ever heard about record company people is that they were vampires and criminals...and they killed Elvis Presley.
