Olof Arnalds quotes
-
“Children are inspiring because they are open and a lot more intelligent than grown ups. They also have contagious playfulness and joy. For me as an artist the challenge of having a child is having to think ahead a lot more. Which in a way is good, since I sometimes lack self-discipline.”
-- Olof Arnalds -
“The responsibility of caring and providing for a child can both give you strength or be paralyzing at times. Depending on the attitude you choose. Ultimately I think it is very valuable to anyone's personal growth having to care for someone else than just yourself.”
-- Olof Arnalds -
“I'm seldom restricted by anything because I don't know how to restrict myself. It's a blessing and a curse. I feel a lot of support from people in Iceland, especially from people that are content with themselves and their life.”
-- Olof Arnalds -
“I don't know if there is an existing model that anyone can hold on to right now. Every [piece of] advice about how to go about in the record business you would get 5 years ago is no longer valid. Everything is changing very rapidly and there is an increased sense of anger and despair among artists that are not major-selling megastars.”
-- Olof Arnalds -
-
“During my childhood years in a Catholic school, one teacher who was more nuts than the rest told me I'd fry in hell if I were a lesbian so I thought maybe the best idea was to be straight.”
-- Olof Arnalds -
“Some people say I'm a gender bender. Whether that's right I leave up for interpretation.”
-- Olof Arnalds
