Some things, it's very useful to begin without knowing fully where you're going.

Allow yourself to be out of your depth at all times.

If you ever feel comfortable in what you're producing, you've lost. You're not alive, that's it, it's stagnant water.

A story comes into your head fully formed, you know exactly the place, the setting, the people. All you've got to do is get it our and written as soon as you possibly can.

I live or die for hip-hop and it's a beautiful form but you're a writer first and foremost.

My point is is that if you are ever comfortable you're not growing and if, unless you are completely out of your depth, your creativity of whatever you are producing, you will never know how strong your stroke it.

In London, the most, the biggest thing we have is culture, you know what I mean? That's what we've done for the past 50, 60 100 years, this is what we've done. My worry is that that will change but actually, that will never change because musicians will just go somewhere else.
