I felt like I was homeless anyway, so the change in environment wasn't that much of a big deal. I felt pretty much the same. After six months of living on the streets [in Camden], I started singing, busking.

I've always been shy, but every time that I sing or I perform, when music comes out of me, it is the only thing I can relate to, it's the only thing I can give.

We have the real self and the false self, there's nothing wrong with them, and everyone has both of them.

We're all competent in different ways, we've just got to find a way to push ourselves up more.

I'm not dismissing prostitutes, but a lot has changed. This so-called gentrification, it can never be stopped.

[My music] is opposite to fashion.

I like it when cities are melancholic. When it started snowing for example, I felt very lonely. I felt very comfortable and very relaxed. When that happens, I write. So I've been writing, not a lot, but I'm inspired everyday.
