National Geographic Contacted Me About Getting On

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.

When I Was 18, Science, Physics, And Math Were My Favorite. I Was A Bit Of A Nerd - The Only Girl With A Lot Of Boys At Chess Championships.

I'm A Whisper In Water.

I'm Not Sure If It's Because I'm Older And I'm Thinking About Family More, But I'm Trying To Set Up This Thing Where I Can Play In One City For A Month, And Then Write Music For A Couple Months, Then Play In Another City For A Month, Write Music For A Month. Just So It's Not These Two Schizophrenic, Jekyll And Hyde Kind Of Things; You Don't Have To Be This Monster. You Get Inspired And You Can Go Write One Song From That, And Then You Go Back And Play A Few Shows. If I Could've Done That In The 90s, I Would Have.

Icelandic People Are Really Educated. But Maybe We Are At Where The People In The States Were 50 Years Ago, Where They Think That Stuff That Isn't Done With A Hammer Or Physical Power Is Not A Job. It's That Backwards.
