I'd done three solo albums in a row, and that's quite narcissistic.

Today has never happened and it doesn't frighten me.

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

Our times seem to be so much about redefining where we are physical and where we're not. For me, it is really exciting to take the cutting edge technology and take it as far as it can get virtually, use it to describe/control the musicology or the behavior of raw natural elements, and then plug it with a sound source which is the most acoustic one there is - like gamelan and pipe organ. So you get the extremes: very virtual and very physical. In that way you shift the physicality.

Emotions weren’t created to just lie around. You should experience things to the full. I’ve got a sense of the clock ticking. We have to feel all those things to the maximum. Like, I don’t eat a lot but I really love eating. And I like being precise and particular. There is a certain respect in that. If you can do your day depending on how you feel, and enjoy things as well.

You shouldn't let poets lie to you.

People are always asking me about eskimos, but there are no eskimos in Iceland.
