People think that I`m too eccentric, so it`s never going to work. I`ve always loved pop and leftfield music. My record company thought that Debut wasn`t going to sell. I said: I don`t care. I really have to do this or I`ll go insane. You`ve just got to do what you do. I came from a punk background, so there was no way that I was ever going to compromise with my music. I have this utopian view that the common person - like your gran, or the guy who works in the sandwich shop - actually wants an adventure, to hear something they`ve never heard before. I might seem leftfield, but I`m really not trying to be weird, you know. (Telegraph interview, 21/07/2005)
- Björk(Game 5 drew 92,706 fans, the largest crowd to witness a Series game, in the misshapen stadium.) What I remember about that is feeling scared looking at the (short) fence in leftfield, ... I think my mother and father were in the 156th row looking down. You`re just hoping you don`t embarrass yourself in front of all those people.
