I feel the 21st century is another new age. Not only can we collaborate again with nature, but we have to. It's an emergency.
Solar power, wind power, the way forward is to collaborate with nature - it's the only way we are going to get to the other end of the 21st century.
When I met Apple, I made it very clear that I am an old punk and I have never done commercials or been sponsored. And I wasn't after their money.
What probably confuses people is they know a lot about me, but it quite pleases me that there's more they don't know.
I think connecting natural elements and musicology is probably pretty idiosyncratic of me, so it is hard to imagine anyone else going down that route.
Seventy per cent humidity is ideal for vocal cords.
I do believe sometimes discipline is very important. I'm not just lying around like a lazy cow all the time.
I'm just like anybody. I have my ups and downs.
I started an all-girl punk band when I was 14, and I was the drummer, not the singer.
The English eat all sorts of birds - pigeons, ducks, sparrows - but if you tell them you eat puffin, you might as well come from Mars.
Football is a fertility festival. Eleven sperm trying to get into the egg. I feel sorry for the goalkeeper.
I love being a very personal singer-songwriter, but I also like being a scientist or explorer.
I always wanted to be a farmer. There is a tradition of that in my family.
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.
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.
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.
Nature hasn't gone anywhere. It is all around us, all the planets, galaxies and so on. We are nothing in comparison.
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.
The funeral business is so manipulative emotionally. I would want to be thrown into the sea or burned - something that's not a big hassle.
I get highs, to be totally honest, in second-hand shops. My hunting instinct, I expect, really kicks in.
