I don't think it's realistic for someone to have an undying loyalty to everything you ever make.

I have amazing collaborators as well, but I want to learn more and be a self-contained unit.

When I first put out music, people didn't know what I looked like. They called it a new type of something, they couldn't put a genre on it - it was where indie and urban kind of meet in the middle. I thought that was quite exciting.

I've lived in the same place in London for the last seven years, I go and get my shopping, I get on buses, and [all the rest] is pretty much outside of who I am.

I think 'fan' implies somebody who's submissive, sycophantic, in awe of everything you're doing.

I really keep my life very simple.

If I want to dress myself a certain way, I don't want to have to rely on someone else to do it for me.
