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 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 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.

Half of my life I’ve had people staring at me because they think I’m funny-looking and ugly. The other half 
of my life I’ve had people staring at me because they think I’m fascinating. Everything neutralises

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.

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.

The idea's the idea: It's about what you do, and not who you are.
