When you know a place, your feet have walked it so many times there's a comfort to it.

It's actually a very liberating thing to have a creative community, which is something that we all kind of desperately search for and find in the ways that we can.

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.

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

Never expect what you write to be any good, 'cause it's the fear of writing badly that stops you from finding the right words.

The minute you finish a piece of writing it doesn't belong to you, you don't write it any more, it belongs to you, the reader, the listener, the audience. So the less you know about whether or not this is me talking about my life or this is me talking about your life, I think the better. Then it can belong to you and it can live outside of the moment in which it was conceived.

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.
