Quotes:
"Sigur Rós was formed in Reykjavik in 1994. 4 January 1994, to be precise"
-Jon Þor "Jonsi" Birgisson

"I think we don't like to be a political band, we don't like to make statements - we usually don't like bands who make crazy statements. If you're going to do it you have to be educated about it, know what you're talking about. But it's nice how it turns out in the movie - it's mild, more pictures talking."
-Jon Þor "Jonsi" Birgisson
