In 2008, I was more just thinking about using the touchscreen for writing the songs. From there I started thinking about how I visualised music.

Icelandic people are really educated. But maybe we are at where the people in the States were 50 years ago, where they think that stuff that isn't done with a hammer or physical power is not a job. It's that backwards.

I love England. It's no coincidence it's the first place I moved to for a more cosmopolitan life, which is the only thing Iceland lacks.

I'm a bit of a nerd, I wouldn't mind working in a shop selling records, or having a radio show where I could play obscure singles.

I find it so amazing when people tell me that electronic music has no soul. You can't blame the computer. If there's no soul in the music, it's because nobody put it there.

In school, I guess I was a difficult, know-it-all type of student... I was always complaining that music education was too academic.

It wasn't just one journalist getting it wrong, everybody was getting it wrong.
