SHE SAID, SHE SAID | Björk

“I could very easily have gone to an island somewhere and written very introverted music for 40 years. I think that would have been the wrong thing to do because society wants women over 35 to go somewhere in the closet and shut the door, but they have evolved. It’s always dangerous to generalise but I think women see more of the whole picture, so for them to cross the 40 year mark, they have to take in the whole picture.”
Björk reflects on being an older woman in the music industry and beyond. She also says that new album Biophilia, out October 10, features lyrics that are “some of my most emotional”, though you might not necessarily notice right away [source: The Box]
