I'm very much a "that's so obvious, I must not mention it" kind of guy.

It's very difficult to say anything in Icelandic. I can say "takk," which means "thank you." That's about all I learned.

You don't want to seem too eager, too romantic - otherwise, it just looks a bit try-hard. But I do think that a first date should be intimate. So I'd choose a nice dinner somewhere cozy, not too crowded, with good wine.

When I'm applying for a new passport, or something, someone will call me Christopher. Other than that, no one ever calls me Christopher.

It's a nightmare if you're working with someone you don't get on with, especially if you have to be in love with them.

Politics is a game and a profession. It doesn't really serve the people the politicians are supposed to serve.

The best people to have power are the ones who don't want it.
