- As of September 2002, MTV has ranked Björk's music video Pagan Poetry (2001) (V) as one of the channel's most controversial videos ever as it depicts several shots of not only Björk's breasts, but also multiple body piercings and mutilations covering her arms and back.

- Her favorite housework around the house is washing clothes because that's when a tune usually comes into her head.

- In 2002, her mother, Hildur Runa Hauksdottir, went on a short-lived hunger strike to protest against the development of an aluminum smelter at Reydarfjordur, on the Icelandic coast. Reydarfjordur was the setting of one of her music videos.
