Every time I hear this woman speak, I am reminded of why I adore everything about her. Such a beautiful mind. Such a beautiful woman. Björk is like no other.
No doubt she's a totally self-aware high potential intelligent person gifted with uncommon skills and open mind. The word "genius" will seem too strong for most of us... but we have to admit that she's the definition of it!
She said she might be in the Autism spectrum. I watched a lot of interviews she gave recently and she is always extremely deep and intelligent in her responses, no matter if it is an English or German interviewer, always original in thought.
If you look at her interviews over the years, this is about authenticy. If she is not completly happy with the interview - it shows, if she and the journalist hit off in a great way, it shows. Also travelling and having different amount of energy on different days.
When I feel a bit low, grumpy. I like to come here, to listen to this interview. Makes my heart feel warm and full, brings clarity to my mind and reminds me of what is truly important. Thankyou. Is a wonderful comfort you provide.
The thing that I love about her the most is that she could be talking about the most basic and simple thing in such a beautiful way. No matter what that thing may be. She finds beauty in everything. I think she’s very intelligent
She so beautiful and so shy she gives us so much of herself in her music I listen to her voice when I'm falling asleep whispering in my ear the most beautiful sound.
I think creative people are curious people . When you are curious you have a lot of questions and you get a lot of answers and when you don't get an answer from someone or something you try to figure it out by yourself and this pushes you to do think and be imaginative. And creativity is, i think, "just" the consequence of curiosity .. There is nothing more sad or boring than people who are not curious and imaginative and who do not ask questions or do not try to find answers by themselves, to what they don't know . This is why i do not make any difference between artist and craftspeople or scientists , all these people are people who are curious and thirsty for answers , and this is why they are so creative . We owe everything accomplished by mankind throughout its entire history, to creative people, both the best and the worst . Bjork is one of those people who brings out the best in human's creativity in her own field(s). This is what makes her so unique . A lot of artists are driven by fame , money, recognition, etc... For them art is not the aim, it is the way to reach the aim. Bjork and people like her , are like scientists , and for them the path is as important as the goal , and just like scientists try to figure things out because they are curious, true artists create things because they enjoy the creating or creative process as much as the outcome and understand that true art is truly its own reward . I have to stop writing stuff when i am drunk and stoned . Anyway i'll read that again tomorrow and see if it makes any sense. If i can remember i wrote it . .
I want to "like" this comment a billion times! Curiosity is such an endearing trait, IMO. I couldn't agree more with what you said: "There is nothing more sad or boring than people who are not curious and imaginative and who do not ask questions or try to find answers by themselves". There is no way to gain intelligence, knowledge, or garner meaning from experience without curiosity. Sadly, many schools ( and parents :( ) seem to still be on a mission to quell this natural trait in children ( examples of this include: limiting kid's interests and choices based upon their gender; not letting them express themselves adequately- creatively or otherwise) , and as a result those children grow up without any imagination, creativity, or critical thinking skills/ intellectual autonomy. If we want innovators, we need to allow and *encourage* curiosity! It's better for the kid's mental health, too, as they are allowed to explore their natural talents and be whoever they authentically are- WITHOUT shame. Anyway. I know this is an old comment, so you may not see it, but sending love and high-fives back in time to you! Peace from Aus x
@@3leggedsharkkickssurferinballs It seems that the time travel that is youtube is still functioning. I had forgotten about that comment and that evening, but i am glad you reminded it to me and i thank you very much for the kind words. I couldn't agree more with your ideo of a proper way to raise kids. We live in a strange society where parents do not want kids, they want robots made to fit their every expectations. They get a pedigree pet which matches what they think a dog or a cat should look like, they get an architect to built there dream house based on HIS idea of what a dream house is, they choose their look according to magazines, and their job according to the common trend, and sadly they choose even their personality based on what other people might think. So of course they want model kids, they can brag about and parade around. The doctor son, the lawyer daughter, god forbids the boy shows any sensibility to art or fashion and hell forbids the daughter to favour becoming a F1 mechanics. Fortunately some parents are different and embrace their kid's natural tendencies and inclinations, and some kids are lucky enough to be raised by parents who know the importance of psychological stability and freedom for a child. Bjork was that child and it sure paid off. I was lucky to be raised by scholars who saw school as a waste of time and a totally antiquated institution, they mostly raised me until i was 9 dragging me along with them wherever work took them (and it took them everywhere) so i was lucky to grow up in many countries and among many different cultures. Then they sent my twin brother and I to a very progressive boarding school and let us develop by ourselves based in this school's teaching but more importantly what we had already experienced and learned in the first 9 years of our lives. I asked myself a lot of questions and tried everything i could try without fear of the consequences and never allowed anyone to influence my choices based in their belief system (or what they believe to be theirs anyway). I think being gay was also a blessing (in disguise first but as it turned out, definitely a blessing , looking back on it), because it made me question everything and first and foremost, societies and the world in which we live. I didn't change the world and just became a wild life veterinarian and ethologist, as along the years it became very clear to me that my empathy toward people was conditional and very relative and subjective, while my genuine love for animals, wasn't. I hope things turned out the way you wanted to as well. And i hope you are in a happy place, both geographically and figuratively. Be safe and let's survive this pandemic and then when we can finally rejoin the world, let's try to really make it a better place. We won't be given a better chance to do so.

@@morganolfursson2560 Hey Sigur, I'm so happy to read your lovely reply. It seems to me that we are very much on the same page regarding these subjects! Your parents sound amazing; I hope that there are many more like them out there in the world. Your wisdom, kindness, and insight is testament to the wonderful job they've obviously done, and reaffirms to me how important it is to raise children to be their true selves, and not, as you say, to turn them into robots/ "model kids" who are treated more like some kind of status symbol than actual human beings. Good on you for looking after animals! They are so precious. You are actively working to make the world a better place :) Yes, you're right: we are being given a chance to really make a positive difference in the world. I know I'm not alone when I say that this period of isolation has given me the perfect chance to engage in introspection and contemplation...and as a result to realise what is ( and is not) truly important to me. For me, I've realised that the mental health and wellbeing of humans ( especially children!) is my primary concern. I'll definitely be trying my best to raise more awareness/ engage in mental health advocacy. I really want to be able to help kids. That's my plan! Even better if I can incorporate creativity into the mix somehow. My own kiddo is still quite young, but is also quite open about not being straight. I am very lucky to have access to a school which is quite progressive, but it took several disappointing experiences at several different schools ( and a stint at homeschooling, which unfortunately was too difficult for me to sustain as I am a single parent) before I managed to find it! It makes me feel sad for other kids/ young people who are battling it out at schools that are still stuck in the dark ages. It's hard enough being a teenager in general...I can't imagine how difficult it would be to be growing up gay in the confines of such institutions. I also see non-neurotypical kids struggling.....and..pretty much all kids who don't neatly fit into rigid, outdated ideas of what it means to be "normal" ( who is- and WHAT *is* normal, anyway?? I don't think there's any such objective thing, otherwise we'd ALL be able to agree on what it is!) I really think widespread reform needs to happen in our schools. It frustrates and depresses me sometimes, but I also see glimmers of hope- I do see more and more teachers and parents realising the importance of mental health and emotional wellbeing; some now even introducing mindfulness meditation into the daily routine. It's a start! I aim to help this movement gain momentum. Anyway, I have written soooooo much, now! So i'll go, but I do hope you're well and wish you all the best for your future ( and your present moment) ! It's so nice to talk ( well, type, haha) to you. I've not been to your part of the world ( yet!) - I've only seen pictures and videos....but from what i see it looks spectacularly beautiful!

She did that because she was being stalked for 4 days, they asked disrespectful questions to her son who was a child then. She said that she exploded, she is human! and she apologized too.
very profund and beautiful answer at the end, when she speaks about dedication an family. Never thought I would get emotional at hearing and interview like this. you know, when u expect to hear certain "creativity answers". She was very moved by saying that. Something so simple and beautiful at the same time... Loving this one. Thank u for uploading
@MorbidManMusic she did say that she was fortunate because she sold some CDs in the 90s but hardly made any penny in the last 20 years because all the money went back into her work. So i would say she's been overlooked by the mass
"I think it's just the way I can't do anything else" - on creativity. See? This is why I wish there was a place for each & every musicians/artist to flourish & live their confusing lives to the full. But money comes in to it. That filthy word that destroys people's hopes & dreams.
+EVERYONE - I want those who agree to speak UP & re-enforce my words. Don't just click like & disappear... we need to form a group of artists whose ideals far exceed the confines of the simple man's greed. No matter what your creed, colour, culture etc. You MUST stand with me!
Economic freedom needs to be in place for everyone! You might be interested in the group Artists for Basic Income. A culture that's based on alienating people for the sake of economic profits, need to at least provide an unconditional basic income to everyone so that they can live freely.
Polycube I agree. Although I think it would be best if we declared money obsolete, & we have a resources based economy instead, with a completely alternative purpose for our existence on the planet. One of fulfillment, liberation, freedom, & getting the best out of our brief time here. Not just for artists, because I believe every human has art within them. For everyone.
Caldera Records I am for that as well, a resourced based economy would be great if it were decentralized like in Cantons. There's a potential for a centralized one to become too Authoritarian and unresponsive. Basic Income is universal as well. It's not only for those with their 'artist' card :)
Polycube I was talking to a friend about this the other day. And it's funny that only scientists, philosophers & artists can see the way to the future. A thinking man's world perhaps. Music is the keyhole through to these alternative worlds. I'd urge everyone to take up music & let it liberate them! God.. my hipster is on overdrive today!!
Bjork has this free spirited childlike Characteristic to her that is so unique. "She breathes and exists for her Dreams ". While the rest of the world pursue a title get a job, pay bills and die.
Check out "Screaming Masterpiece"; documentary on ALL Icelandic music. She says some very good things in that film as well. Not too mention the performances themselves. Amazing film. That and "Heima" (means home) by Sigur Ros. The country actually payed for it. Very high production value. Iceland is very special. Screaming Masterpiece and Heima should be seen back to back... Thank me later...
Damien Hurst's comment 'but you didn't' is quite crass really. We can all go out there and be artistic and create something that no one has done before. We do it as children when we build dens, each one an individual piece. What people get upset about when something is intrinsically basic like Tracy Emin's 'Unmade bed' is the weight the art world gives it. I firmly believe everyone should be involved in some form of art and creative process, whether it be painting, music, acting, photography, writing, poetry etc, etc. It gives worth, value and self expression to one's life and can be a great form of release. Bjork comes over really well in this interview. I like the way she looks at the artistic process. I don't think you can formulate that process because each individuals creativity is triggered by different things in their life.
Björk is a big inspiration in my own music making in the way that I don't feel I have to follow any specific genres or trends, I'm making weird instrumental electronic metal. Look it up on my channel if you want to listen to something different.
Bjork is surely the most creative artist on earth. She can give any artists out there a lesson on how to be creative. I wish I could be as creative as her.
I used to be creative, but I'm afraid 56 years of school military working and raising my family kinda dampened it. It feels like the fire is still there but so small and tired
WHY ARE YOU CREATIVE ? IT'S BECAUSE EVERYBODY CAN SEE THAT IT DOESNT MATHER HER AGE, SHE CONSERVE THE SAME KEY THAN CHILDS... THE INNOCENCE THAT MOST OF US LOSE WHEN WE GROW UP
What and who else can you love, when there's a Bjork! ) But why? May be men over the world love her just because she screams and hails so much just like a passionate human female ready to fulfill all your sexual dreams? But that's only one part or plane of her attractiveness. The other is purely musical and her unsurpassed master level of voice control., its dynamic and emotional range The 3-rd one is her sincerity, simplicity ("being stupid") and openness.. And I'm sure, there's much more why we all will always love Bjork..
Every time I hear this singer I reminded of how she smashed the face of a Japanese Reporter trying to ambush interview her in the airport and how she screamed like a swan of a lady.
Me retracto de mi declaración, no fue tacto. Mi fondo de Aspergers viene para más de 1.000 horas de estudio sobre el tema y tenerlo mismo. Basé de cosas como su lenguaje corporal bio y micro. Pero otra vez, no está tacto aquí, me retracto de lo, es probablemente una conjetura y un UA-cam video no es el lugar para subirlos.
to me, bjork looks more beautiful in this video as there's not much makeup on. her hair is like "i dont care" kinda natural style/look regardless the camera and interview.
Well, I grew up in the lower middle class, which is harder, in some ways, than the working class because they expect so much for very little. My type are going insane currently in the US. My family has been mostly farmers or lived simple lives. I'm tired of people who have IQs like 140 thinking that they deserve everything like my stuff because my IQ is lower. 140 is like the median IQ in my family for the most part, minus the few who were diseased. My sister got that result and declared she was average. They made tons of art, past generations and then this generation. They were good in school, but no one behind the generation of my grandparents dreamed much of upwards mobility in society, just good at school and hyperactive on the farm or building houses. We all have a bit of ADHD in us. That's probably the "evolution" they throw at everyone, especially the disabled. On another note, I don't like when people think that we can't do other things besides our jobs.
Hmmm....Ok...I have to admit, I always thought she was a little pretentious and attention seeking with some of her stunts. Her music is just OK in my book. Some songs are good, nothing I would lose my mind over. But...I dig her vibe here. She seems to have a decent head on her shoulders...And some of her videos are pretty cool to watch...She might...MIGHT be growing on me.
She's anything but pretentious. Unless knowing what she wants and being uncompromising is pretention.....it isn't. A decent head on her shoulders is an understatement. I think that it is difficult for her to explain exactly what goes on in that wonderful, complex head, because it's beyond the understanding of most.
Hahahaha i'm just watching this because i saw Kristen Wiig impersonating her and i wanted to see if she really talks like this... and yes she does hahahahaha...
primero, tu comentario no es una pregunta es una afirmación, estás afirmando q ella en efecto tiene asperger, segundo nunca dije q asperger es un insulto, no se de donde sacas eso y tercero yo se lo q es asperger he trabajado con niños con asperger x años y suponer q alguien tiene aspeger solo x ser peculiar o no sé lo q pensás d ella x unas cuantas entrevistas q hayas visto eso es lo q me parece impresionantemente tonto...
Compare Bjorks thoughtful, sensitive gestures to humanity to Madonna's ever-inclusive ego-mania. // Not that I don't think Madonna did some amazing music and music videos. And she did have some sort of actual social conscious, at least before she turned to the Kabbalah. // Not that I don't think the Kabbalah is an amazing meditative work, they just got the math somewhat wrong. Which is what screwed up and enevitably demonized Madonna. Literally. // Not that I have anything against demons. I simply prefer Bjork. // Come "C" my remix of her "Utopia." - _The Acoustic Rabbit Hole_ Clique on the rainbow rabbit!
In an older interview she said that she doesn't like giving autographs because she feels like people who ask her the autograph are humiliating themselves in front of her, and it's pretty stupid to treat her like she's some higher being. She would really like people to be equal to her and not kneel in front of her just because she's a celebrity or something. To her, the musician and the bricklayer are equally respectable.

@MorbidManMusic she did say that she was fortunate because she sold some CDs in the 90s but hardly made any penny in the last 20 years because all the money went back into her work. So i would say she's been overlooked by the mass
Her work is not for the mass to understand or appreciate.
They have Madonna, Miley Cirus et al.
@@enriquegranados5179 Madonna is a genius tho
Makes you a hater.
such an intelligent and tender human creature
Bjork The Queen Of Stage 🥰😘
"I think it's just the way I can't do anything else" - on creativity. See? This is why I wish there was a place for each & every musicians/artist to flourish & live their confusing lives to the full. But money comes in to it. That filthy word that destroys people's hopes & dreams.
+EVERYONE - I want those who agree to speak UP & re-enforce my words. Don't just click like & disappear... we need to form a group of artists whose ideals far exceed the confines of the simple man's greed. No matter what your creed, colour, culture etc. You MUST stand with me!
Economic freedom needs to be in place for everyone! You might be interested in the group Artists for Basic Income. A culture that's based on alienating people for the sake of economic profits, need to at least provide an unconditional basic income to everyone so that they can live freely.

I agree. Although I think it would be best if we declared money obsolete, & we have a resources based economy instead, with a completely alternative purpose for our existence on the planet. One of fulfillment, liberation, freedom, & getting the best out of our brief time here. Not just for artists, because I believe every human has art within them. For everyone.
Caldera Records I am for that as well, a resourced based economy would be great if it were decentralized like in Cantons. There's a potential for a centralized one to become too Authoritarian and unresponsive.
Basic Income is universal as well. It's not only for those with their 'artist' card :)

I was talking to a friend about this the other day. And it's funny that only scientists, philosophers & artists can see the way to the future. A thinking man's world perhaps.
Music is the keyhole through to these alternative worlds. I'd urge everyone to take up music & let it liberate them! God.. my hipster is on overdrive today!!
She is so sweet.
Bjork has this free spirited childlike
Characteristic to her that is so unique.
"She breathes and exists for her Dreams ".
While the rest of the world pursue a title get a job, pay bills and die.
This is the word that describes her to me the best: Pure.
She is beautiful in every way and I love how introspective and poetic she is when the interviewer is respectful and not mocking her.
Sooo so beautiful!
An incredible lady Bjork -so humble and so honest.
Wise young woman.
💚U Bjork ... Creativity is just a compliment
I Love you Björk!!!! I love your voice sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much
A great example you are for us all. We thank you Bjork!
Check out "Screaming Masterpiece"; documentary on ALL Icelandic music. She says some very good things in that film as well. Not too mention the performances themselves. Amazing film. That and "Heima" (means home) by Sigur Ros. The country actually payed for it. Very high production value. Iceland is very special. Screaming Masterpiece and Heima should be seen back to back... Thank me later...
so humble
Damien Hurst's comment 'but you didn't' is quite crass really. We can all go out there and be artistic and create something that no one has done before. We do it as children when we build dens, each one an individual piece. What people get upset about when something is intrinsically basic like Tracy Emin's 'Unmade bed' is the weight the art world gives it.
I firmly believe everyone should be involved in some form of art and creative process, whether it be painting, music, acting, photography, writing, poetry etc, etc. It gives worth, value and self expression to one's life and can be a great form of release.
Bjork comes over really well in this interview. I like the way she looks at the artistic process. I don't think you can formulate that process because each individuals creativity is triggered by different things in their life.
She really isn't unnoticed.
i love bjork sooooo much
Абсолютный гений и художник. Из других миров...
Omg she is so cute and full of tenderness :)
I like Bjork.
You are Extra terrestre in show business
Most all-around beautiful woman ever!
She have an asmr voice.
I'm so obsessed with her
Björk is a big inspiration in my own music making in the way that I don't feel I have to follow any specific genres or trends, I'm making weird instrumental electronic metal. Look it up on my channel if you want to listen to something different.
SO CUTE
Bjork is surely the most creative artist on earth. She can give any artists out there a lesson on how to be creative. I wish I could be as creative as her.
Shes so wise
LOVE YOU ❤
Beautiful Björk I love her and your voice and face be eternal ! I looovee so much much ...! My Love forever!
great video
she range the library to the beat and discipline her Voice as Regular Balance because it still can be luck of enough when i naturally being laud more.
I used to be creative, but I'm afraid 56 years of school military working and raising my family kinda dampened it.
It feels like the fire is still there but so small and tired
I magine if her and Jeff Buckley had married and had children? What a world we'd have!
+omniscientmoon77 Two of my favorite singers :)
+omniscientmoon77 omg I thought I was the only one thinking that XD
Her & Bowie. :0
Ahhh, Jeff Buckley ♡♡♡
i like her accent.
She is great
Unnoticed?, she's a superstar!, alltho i think she doesn't care lol
WHY ARE YOU CREATIVE ? IT'S BECAUSE EVERYBODY CAN SEE THAT IT DOESNT MATHER HER AGE, SHE CONSERVE THE SAME KEY THAN CHILDS... THE INNOCENCE THAT MOST OF US LOSE WHEN WE GROW UP
Love her
What and who else can you love, when there's a Bjork! ) But why? May be men over the world love her just because she screams and hails so much just like a passionate human female ready to fulfill all your sexual dreams? But that's only one part or plane of her attractiveness. The other is purely musical and her unsurpassed master level of voice control., its dynamic and emotional range The 3-rd one is her sincerity, simplicity ("being stupid") and openness.. And I'm sure, there's much more why we all will always love Bjork..
a better question "what is creativity?"
MAYA lol
Long story short: the capabillity of solve problems with a disruptive aproach...?
🏆💋💋💋
Bjork's Creativity
> Much Like Her Country is a Constant JuxtaPosition of
Fire & IceLand Creative Chaos
Every time I hear this singer I reminded of how she smashed the face of a Japanese Reporter trying to ambush interview her in the airport and how she screamed like a swan of a lady.
+Bjorksmusic Regina Bjork magic creativity :)♡. 👽lyricpoetry ☆☆☆
until you fall in love ohhhh
She seems distracted and reserved here, maybe she had something on her mind that day.
What an intelligent question to ask . Gee why are you breathing ,like what drives you to inhale ... Man ,flabbergasted
Me retracto de mi declaración, no fue tacto. Mi fondo de Aspergers viene para más de 1.000 horas de estudio sobre el tema y tenerlo mismo. Basé de cosas como su lenguaje corporal bio y micro. Pero otra vez, no está tacto aquí, me retracto de lo, es probablemente una conjetura y un UA-cam video no es el lugar para subirlos.
I Agree
What a weird quesiton.
Turn around and ask everyone else "Why aren't you creative (anymore) ?".
Now this
cause im not good enough lol
Do I? Do you know me? Certain differences ARE Aspergers. Personality is difference, Aspergers is identifiable traits.
to me, bjork looks more beautiful in this video as there's not much makeup on. her hair is like "i dont care" kinda natural style/look regardless the camera and interview.
Un peinadon, estuvo buena la peda, jejeje.... I LOVE HER ♥
When Stephen King is asked..Where do you get your ideas?. His answer had been “ On the corner of ..
pero ¿por qué? se adapta a todos los criterios no es una tontería preguntar sabes. Asperger no es un insulto.
Well, I grew up in the lower middle class, which is harder, in some ways, than the working class because they expect so much for very little. My type are going insane currently in the US. My family has been mostly farmers or lived simple lives. I'm tired of people who have IQs like 140 thinking that they deserve everything like my stuff because my IQ is lower. 140 is like the median IQ in my family for the most part, minus the few who were diseased. My sister got that result and declared she was average. They made tons of art, past generations and then this generation. They were good in school, but no one behind the generation of my grandparents dreamed much of upwards mobility in society, just good at school and hyperactive on the farm or building houses. We all have a bit of ADHD in us. That's probably the "evolution" they throw at everyone, especially the disabled. On another note, I don't like when people think that we can't do other things besides our jobs.
Hmmm....Ok...I have to admit, I always thought she was a little pretentious and attention seeking with some of her stunts. Her music is just OK in my book. Some songs are good, nothing I would lose my mind over. But...I dig her vibe here. She seems to have a decent head on her shoulders...And some of her videos are pretty cool to watch...She might...MIGHT be growing on me.
She's defiantly somewhat of a realist in all her fantasies in her ideas it winds back to honesty
Elana Vital I love this comment :)
She's anything but pretentious. Unless knowing what she wants and being uncompromising is pretention.....it isn't. A decent head on her shoulders is an understatement. I think that it is difficult for her to explain exactly what goes on in that wonderful, complex head, because it's beyond the understanding of most.
You're fucking stupid
That was intelligent and well thought out. And 3 words, 4 if you count you're as two words.
Hahahaha i'm just watching this because i saw Kristen Wiig impersonating her and i wanted to see if she really talks like this... and yes she does hahahahaha...
O Bjork you can do a lot , like sweeping the floor and wash and cook ,but why would you
Melodramma in the comments section...
great men in the comments, btw
you call everyone who are different Asperger? You may as well label every single person on Earth with diagnoses.
Asperger Syndrome isnt an illness its just your brain is wired differently...
primero, tu comentario no es una pregunta es una afirmación, estás afirmando q ella en efecto tiene asperger, segundo nunca dije q asperger es un insulto, no se de donde sacas eso y tercero yo se lo q es asperger he trabajado con niños con asperger x años y suponer q alguien tiene aspeger solo x ser peculiar o no sé lo q pensás d ella x unas cuantas entrevistas q hayas visto eso es lo q me parece impresionantemente tonto...
all artists anoyed by this stupid task of writing down your „answer“ in a piece of paper argh
She looks mad human stop with the race crap
So in other words, non exposure to main stream western BS.
I wonder if she knows she has Aspergers.
Interviewer: why are you creative?
Artist: [blah blah blah] my parents... [blah blah blah]
Compare Bjorks thoughtful, sensitive gestures to humanity to Madonna's ever-inclusive ego-mania. // Not that I don't think Madonna did some amazing music and music videos. And she did have some sort of actual social conscious, at least before she turned to the Kabbalah. // Not that I don't think the Kabbalah is an amazing meditative work, they just got the math somewhat wrong. Which is what screwed up and enevitably demonized Madonna. Literally. // Not that I have anything against demons. I simply prefer Bjork. // Come "C" my remix of her "Utopia."
- _The Acoustic Rabbit Hole_ Clique on the rainbow rabbit!
i want to marry her
Am I the only one noticing she gets pissed when asked to sign that book? DIVA
Alejandro P. A. She's been cold from Iceland
It's mindless trivia, that's why.
In an older interview she said that she doesn't like giving autographs because she feels like people who ask her the autograph are humiliating themselves in front of her, and it's pretty stupid to treat her like she's some higher being. She would really like people to be equal to her and not kneel in front of her just because she's a celebrity or something. To her, the musician and the bricklayer are equally respectable.
“Why are you gey?”
Bjork lets have babies..
Bjork is way over idolized.
This is very poor
Check her political views,you ll be hugely disappointed
She is not a artist she is a cult
She looks mad asian
