Hope is a muscle that allows us to connect. (Björk)

What probably confuses people is they know a lot about me, but it quite pleases me that there's more they don't know.

Björk

I feel like the people from Iceland have a different relationship with their country than other places. Most Icelandic people are really proud to be from there, and we don't have embarrassments like World War II where we were cruel to other people.

Björk

Being a musician is very easy. My house is full of musical instruments. There's a lot of music, always.

Björk

Feminists bore me to death. I follow my instinct and if that supports young girls in any way, great. But I'd rather they saw it more as a lesson about following their own instincts rather than imitating somebody.

Björk

Björk

Björk

Björk

Björk gives the finger again, this time waving it into the air. "God bless the Internet," she adds. And what about you, then? "I'll still be there, waving a pirate flag. (Björk)
