    She has always been ahead if time, love her answer when the guy asks her where's the place she feels at home: the internet, 13 years ago internet was not that great as it is today.

    As a Björk fan for 20 years, I watched a lot of interviews and this one is one of the best because there's a balance: this German guy gets suddenly shy and (it's obvious as she gets older that) the more arrogant the interviewers are, the less she opens herself.
    There are touching moments of intimacy here. Espacially when he asks about Björk's son. Her answer made me laugh too!
    She doesn't need to be too technical while explaining her music because it would "burst the bubble, break the charm" :-P

    So open minded towards technology, like a true artist would be imo. Also I love how she doesn't repeat celebrity cliches like the "fake friends" thing. There are lots of good hearted people in the industry.

    He's struggling to make the connections she offers. Even though Bjork's approach to music is ultra simple with no hidden meanings, he still tries to find a clever undercurrent. There is none.

      Björk fans say that about every single interviewer though. He works for MTV, he's informed about her work, he treats her with respect, he switches perfectly from German to English and gives her 30 mins to explain her art and music without looking for trash. Don't know what people expect.

    what happens in this video if i remember serves me correctly is that the guy thinks he's interviewing madonna or kylie or someone, when actually he's interviewing an artist.
    she gets increasingly annoyed at the pap questions until she takes pity on him. he gets more and more dejected at how the interview is progressing until la gudmundsdottir realises he's an idiot, a nice idiot; and she's being how she normally is with cunt interviewers until she realises he's not a cunt, just an idiot, quite a nice idiot, and then she takes pity on him and begins to treat him as what he comes across as, a child. and he responds really nicely to it.
    and all of a sudden it's a nice interview. but only cause she's got a heart the size of a house.
    reckon i've only seen one good interview with her, and that's the vespertine era with verity sharpe. even the charlie rose one had it's problems compared to it.
    wonder what she's like interviewed in icelandic by an equal?

      If I was the interviewer, I would have felt so shocked being by her side, that I could not say a word. But, well, someone as shy as me, should not even try to be an interviewer.
