People That Complete Other People's Vision Are

I'm Not That Keen On Fierce Dictatorship. I Think That Sort Of The Point Of Working With Somebody Is Them Coming Up With Stuff And Feeling Free To Do That.

What Comes First? The Melody, Always. It's All About Singing The Melodies Live In My Head. They Go In Circles. I Guess I'm Quite Conservative And Romantic About The Power Of Melodies. I Try Not To Record Them On My Dictaphone When I First Hear Them. If I Forget All About It And It Pops Up Later On, Then I Know It's Good Enough. I Let My Subconscious Do The Editing For Me.

I Think After Iceland's Independence In 1944, We Were Not Very Sure Of Ourselves And Our Confidence Was Really Low. It Took One Generation To Sort Of Get Over That. I'm Second Generation. My Parents Were Born In 1945-46. Our Movement At The Punk Times Was Like, We Can Sing In Icelandic, We Are Strong.

Maybe It's Just A Personal Thing, But I Get So Much Grounding From Iceland Because I Know It's Always Going To Be There. I Have A Very Happy, Healthy Relationship With The Country, So It's Really Easy To Go Everywhere Because I Always Have Iceland To Go Back To. It's Sort Of A Contradiction, But That's How It Works Somehow.

I've Always Had As Many Powerful, Creative Ladies In My Life As I Have Men, And You Could Probably Describe Some Of Those Relationships As Romantic. I Think Everyone's Bisexual To Some Degree Or Another; It's Just A Question Of Whether Or Not You Choose To Recognise It And Embrace It. Personally, I Think Choosing Between Men And Women Is Like Choosing Between Cake And Ice Cream. You'd Be Daft Not To Try Both When There Are So Many Different Flavours.
