In an ideal world people would know the words just for the show and then forget them right after.

One of my favorite French singers, Alain Bashung, was the expert at creating his own universe; no one knows what he's talking about, even he doesn't know because it's so poetic.

I think every artist needs a rule that's stupid but that helps him, like a deadline would.

I discovered that a lot of the songs I like, they're fantasies, a vision of something, but you don't actually live there.

In France a lot of songs were ruined by their associations with commercials. But so far no Apple commercial has ruined a song for me.

In France, anyone can use your music on like a TV show or whatever - they don't need to ask permission. It's almost like a child when it has its own life.

I think Björk is playing on the fact she knows she's eccentric and she accepts the fact.
