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 don't want to be in front of the camera forever. I'm not thirsty. I'm not a pop star. I don't want to reign over all forever. I don't want to be famous! It makes me feel sick, the thought of being a famous person. It's just not me. I'm the happiest when I'm in the studio, not on a beauty parade.

I hope to do a visual for every 
single thing, even if it’s as small as a gif or as big as a whole dance music film.

I don’t know if I’m a tortured soul, but I was born heartbroken. I remember feeling it when I was so young. 
 I was like, ‘Mum, it hurts.’

I do have traditional values: I believe in being a good person and being polite.

We live in a very strange world where everything is so accessible; if you like one song someone did, you can see what they ate for breakfast or what kind of sunglasses they wore.

No boyfriend wants to see their girlfriend in a video with a big, handsome black dude feeding his fingers into her mouth, do they? But that concept is my expression, and boyfriends have to deal with that, don't they?
