/ Totally Sensible Plans for Retirement:

Live in a shack by the ocean.

Have tanned leathery skin and absurd white hair.

Swim every morning.

Wear nothing but silk turbans and body tents.

Read pretentious novels in espresso bars with my sibord.

/ The humbling in learning about the albatross. (In order to write a television script for preschool children. Bleak.)

We were in a Levi's commercial, shot in Berlin. Talent was crowd-sourced and none were paid. The carrot was a free party, music and drinks provided. We all signed release forms on the door. We then slowly realized the 'punch' contained worryingly large amounts of MDMA. We were discouraged from leaving and were filmed for over six hours.

- [redacted] in conversation, March 1 2015.

Maybe that was a strange, personal job between me and myself, to show how overreaching I was being as a woman. The only way I could express that was by comparing it to the universe. 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. Not only artists, but whatever job they do: in the office, or homemakers. [...] It’s like the end scene in Mary Poppins, when she’s made everyone friends, and the father realizes that kids are more important than money—and [then] she has to leave. [chokes up] It’s a strange moment. Women are the glue. It’s invisible, what women do. It’s not rewarded as much. - Björk, 'The Invisible Woman: A Conversation with Björk', 21 January 2015.
