Being trendy is dangerous. I've never been trendy, which is why I've never really fallen out of favour.

The best advice I ever got was that knowledge is power and to keep reading.

I left school on my 15th birthday.

Sometimes I still can't believe my luck.

I've always been a bit flip.

I don't think my work does reflect my nationality - I don't like the idea of nationalism.

I always go for simplicity.
