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 just try to keep my dignity and carry on with my day.

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

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?

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.

I'm a country girl, raised in Gloucestershire, England. But my family encouraged me to travel, and I wanted to experience the world. Maybe that's not traditional, but my values have stayed strong. Perhaps that's where wanting to have children comes into it: I'll always be making work; I guess when - and if - I have children, I'll have them with me.
