Björk’s 5 most popular quotes
- If you want to make something happen that hasn’t happened before , you’ve got to allow yourself to make a lot of mistakes.
- I never really understood the word ‘loneliness’. As far as I was concerned, I was in an orgy with the sky and the ocean, and with nature.
- I find it so amazing when people tell me that electronic music has no soul. You can’t blame the computer. If there’s no soul in the music, it’s because nobody put it there.
- There are certain emotions in your body that not even your best friend can sympathize with, but you will find the right film or the right book, and it will understand you.
- When I write a song, I see a tunnel, and then the chorus is an open space, or the bassline is doing this shape. I see songs as a more of a geometric, spacial experience.
