      I'm fully with the other commenters: it's time for a new interview. Her voice has troubled her, she is highly motivated to save "nattura" (nattura.org), I'm wondering what she's up to. I suppose with hope that she has enjoyed the interview as much as I did, and mr. Rose apparently as well.

      Björk speaks great truths about our life, just from her own modest personal experience. I will gratefully listen to what she will be saying this time.

      This is a incredible interview. Bjork has such a deep insight into the small emotions and sounds rushing around creating a life.

      It really reminded about what is important in living and being creative.

      I believe that interviews with musicians and actors and artists ARE serious; as serious as anything concerning politics or business or law. But yeah: let's have more of it!

      This interview with Bjork is so wonderful. Can you please bring her back Charlie, for another interview?

      And nice work, by the way, in giving her time to think and to speak, Charlie. If you'd rushed her speech, or interrupted her silences, the whole thing would have just shut down. Thanks!

      Come on Charlie, enough of the serious stuff, get Bjork back on.

      i watch this interview repeatedly in awe. charlie's discussion (even though it's eight years old) with this artist shows how much of a real deal she is. thank you bjork and charlie.

      Thank you Charlie! Bjork is a wonderful breath of fresh air in these jaded times we live in.

      You unlock her charm and creative thought process for those of us who have followed her career and remarkable music for many years.

      Bjork is a beautiful and rare bird! This interview is a revelation of her artistic vision and processes. Thank you, Charlie, for dedicating an entire hour.

      Is it time yet for another interview?

      I love her! Thanks Charlie. Get her back to talk about her lyrics and how that connects to life politics
