I really keep my life very simple.

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.

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

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

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

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.
