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

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

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.

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.

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.

I'm a very free woman, and maybe freedom is erotic in that way. Maybe it's conceived of as something dangerous, and dangerous - in that creative and wild way - is sensuous and erotic. For me it's more about making what I feel, but there's always a reason, a level of integrity and classical expression in what I do.
