Talk:Björk

I'm 99.13% sure that the attributed quote:

"I have a secret code called 'Icelandic', so you will never know what's written here." Holding a notebook, during a television interview, possibly on US cable channel VH1

was actually from a program on Bravo. More details can I not unveil, as I have not the access to sources at hand. My apologies extended.
