I've been inspired by people's work, but I never grew up with posters on my bedroom wall or obsessed with one person.

FKA twigsI 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!

FKA twigsI'm a country girl, raised in Gloucestershire, England. But my family encouraged me to travel, and I wanted to experience the world.
