I get embarrassed listening to my last CDs. I've got a lot of work to do, let's put it that way.
I'm going to prove the impossible really exists
I think every year brings unknowns that you have to deal with and handle, confront and embrace.
If you can make nature and technology friends, then you can make everyone friends; you can make everyone intact. That's what women do a lot - they're the glue between a lot of things.
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 flavors.
I always wanted to be a farmer. There is a tradition of that in my family.
I just feel like making things solar-powered and wind-powered should be as easy as using an iPad.
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 love England. It's no coincidence it's the first place I moved to for a more cosmopolitan life, which is the only thing Iceland lacks.

I guess I'm quite used to not being understood rather than being understood.
