Arca: "If I gravitate toward someone, I bridge the gap between us somehow, and I accidentally maybe start seeing the world through their eyes."

Arca: "We try and banish whole inner realms. Sometimes, you have to touch the thing inside you're most afraid of and see what happens when you touch it rather than look away from it all the time."

Arca: "Internally, we have so many different parts, both positive and negative. And if you force them together, a spark comes out."

Arca: "I always make a point to make my records different. Let's say I have a record that's influenced by hip-hop in an abstract way; for the next record, I'd try not to do that. They are all connected in a personal way but it's important not to repeat myself, because then I can always learn something about myself through my work."

Arca: "It's impossible to exorcise the darkness out of you. We can pretend it's not there until something bursts."

Arca: "I think, with every kind of creature and every kind of human, there is no better. We're all just mutations, and I think that each mutation should be celebrated."

Arca: "I exist in agreement with all the weird chaos, destruction, and agony that is undoubtedly part of the texture of being alive."

Arca: "I have a very healthy dose of scepticism towards what identity is and what personas are, maybe because of my life journey. Identity is something so malleable."

Arca: "Once you share what you're communicating with your audience, then you can make more sense of it in a subconscious way."

Arca: "Making music can get so emotional that, if you don't set limits for yourself, it can push you or the person that you're making music with to a breaking point."

Arca: "I like contradictions, and I like exceptions. I don't like rules and dogma."

Arca: "I think there's a certain poetry to having your body reflect what you feel inside of you. Perhaps you have a feeling that's so pure, or overwhelming inside of you that your body disfigures to it - contortions match your confusion."

Arca: "When you're uncomfortable, that's when you learn something new about yourself."

Arca: "When I was younger, I used to say, 'I'm not making music. I am getting catharsis for emotion.' For me, vulnerability is an act of uncovering. It's a revealing: the idea of putting aside your armour and allowing pain to enter."

Arca: "I've learned to use things like softness and vulnerability as weapons against the things you feel ashamed of in yourself."

Arca: "Making music is an inward and outward gesture at once. I make it because I'm communing with a side of myself that might help me look people in the eye. But at the same time, I'm reaching out, in a way."

Arca: "It's grotesque to believe the body we inhabit we want to inhabit 24/7."

Arca: "Being knee-deep in sadness or suffering and refusing to look down - to me, that represents something more powerful than someone who's never gone through difficulty."

Arca: "I want to be interested in the music I make until I die. That's more important to me than the size of my audience."

Arca: "It's a really deep and layered psychological situation - making music with someone - if they're trying to make something real and personal. It's almost like dating: you allow yourself to be consumed by the other - not in a bad way, but in a way that happens in nature."

Arca: "With song titles, I try to keep a healthy sense of humor while saying something at the same time."

Arca: "When I met Björk, I felt like it was a friendship first; it was like an oxygen you get from a person you only can exist with symbiotically. It's one of the most beautiful relationships I've had. She is incredible."

Arca: "I feel like, a lot of times, you make music, and you don't really understand why until with hindsight."

Arca: "It's just that one day, you wake up feeling masculine, and one day, you wake up feeling feminine. The flickering in between those two states is what's most fertile for me."

Arca: "I'm an all-or-nothing person."

Arca: "Arca means 'box' or 'wooden' in very old Spanish. It's a ceremonial container where you store jewelry or valuables, an empty space that can become pregnant with whatever music or meaning I give to it."

Arca: "I want to make music until I die."

Arca: "I think for the longest time I used to be kind of embarrassed that if I hung out with someone that had a really, really strong personality, I would end up accidentally catching myself talking like them."

Arca: "As a kid, I spent a lot of my mental energy hiding who I was and attempting to fit in."
