I respect anyone who's honest to themselves and able to bring that into their work in an entertaining fashion.

The future's unwritten. It's what we make of it.

I think I'll always be linked to comedy. There is something about it that's such a beautiful thing. The world of drama sneers at it because people assume that it's easy but it's not at all; it's incredibly difficult.

There is no better education than rap battling in terms of performance. It makes you fearless.

When I slid into comedy, naturally the first thing I said was, "hello, I am a washed up rapper."

While I was rapping I was always involved in youth work - I ran music workshops for teenagers and young offenders all the time and also ran a charity for refugee kids for a time.

I try not to make social consciousness a massive part of my music or comedy because I prefer to be an entertainer first and foremost, then do actual grassroots work when I can.
