“Maybe I'll be a feminist in my old age.”

“I am a grateful... grapefruit.”

“There's no map to human behaviour.”

“Nature has always been important to me. It has always been in my music.”

“I'm a fountain of blood. In the shape of a girl.”

“I love being a very personal singer-songwriter, but I also like being a scientist or explorer.”

“I think religion is a mistake - I'm exhausted by its self-righteousness. I think atheists should start screaming for attention like religious folks do.”

“Nature hasn't gone anywhere. It is all around us, all the planets, galaxies and so on. We are nothing in comparison.”

“It's incredible how nature sets females up to take care of people, and yet it is tricky for them to take care of themselves.”

“I am one of the most idiosyncratic people around.”

“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.”

“I do love one-upmanship sometimes, like when you see kids breakdancing and who can do the best tricks. It's common, it's in our nature as animals, like the birds of paradise who've got the best feathers and that sort of stuff. But it's fun when it's impulsive and it's about fun.”

“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. We don't even have an army. So it's sort of like an all-around good, innocent place.”

“I've been traveling in Guatemala in the rainforest, and here all these houses are made of sticks. It seems so easy to make one.”

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

“When I was a teenager in Iceland people would throw rocks and shout abuse at me because they thought I was weird. I never got that in London no matter what I wore.”

“I love hiking in Iceland most, there are lots of brilliant paths.”

“We didn't really have television when I was a kid. Around 30, I discovered films and started systematically catching up. I collect interesting documentaries and films, and watch a few nights a week.”

“Usually when you see females in movies, they feel like they have these metallic structures around them, they are caged in by male energy.”

“People that complete other people's vision are understated.”
