"Despite the cold, cryptic guise of Gazelle Twin, when I’m out of costume, I am ‘myself’. For example, I prefer to be frank and open in interviews rather than evasive, or attempting to create a kind of ‘mythological’ aura - I don’t think this is helpful as I’m not interested in transforming ‘Elizabeth Walling’ into a legend or persona - I’m more like the puppeteer of the project. That’s not to say that everything contained within Gazelle Twin doesn’t derive from me as a person, I just made a very specific decision to distance myself from what I had created and how I delivered it to the public arena. I’ve seen too many female artists try to become their persona through-and-through and I don’t think it works out of context, or helps with longevity. It’s why I have always admired people like Polly Harvey and Kate Bush so much, despite their performances and personas on records they are lovely, friendly people and don’t pretend to be otherwise."

PJ: “There’s so much of everything, and i don’t know if thats a good thing, umm i’d like to think that its a good thing but i wonder if standards are going down”
very good interview
LOVE
“Q: Do you feel a connection between the three of you?
Polly: I think there is a connection. For me, anyway. This is the first time I’ve really had the opportunity to meet other women that are in the same kind of situation that I’m in. It’s been really helpful for me to see that other people have to deal with exactly the same sort of things that I have to deal with. I was feeling on my own. I was thinking that other people don’t have to go through these things, seeing lawyers, getting sued left, right and centre while you’re trying to write an album.
Björk: Are you being sued as well?
Polly: Yea, I’m being sued at the moment. It’s really horrible.
Björk: I’m so sorry for you.
Tori: Do you want us to shoot the lawyer?
Polly: But meeting up with these two has made me stop feeling so sorry for myself. It’s just living and everyone has to deal with these kinds of things in their different ways.
Q: You’ve met before, haven’t you?
Björk: Me and Tori met in Iceland.
Tori: She came backstage to see me at my show two years ago. I had been aware of her because of The Sugarcubes and I went to Iceland because I wanted to go so bad. I’d been fascinated by it and studied a bit about it so I eventually went. Everybody like, gets drunk, don’t they?
Björk: That’s Icelandic culture, that’s all there is, really.
Tori: It’s the most expensive place to buy alcohol on the planet.
Björk: It’s a joke. One beer costs about five quid.
Tori: But they were a really good audience for a country that’s drunk.
Björk: But that was the way you kept the concentration going. It was amazing. I’ve done gigs in Iceland that have been ridiculous because people know you and when you’re singing, they’re shouting, Hey, you didn’t make your Engish degree! Your uncle is fucking my niece!
Tori: They could have shouted that at me and it probably would have been true. But we went snow-mobiling on the glacier. Polly, you should go there, you’d love it.
Polly: I’ve never been. In my head I’ve just seen snow and cold.”
