I became the magnet for a lot of scary aggression. Cos it's scary Up North!

It's a shame in a way that people come and go with one album.

I thinks it really interesting how they throw the world music samples in there. I often wonder what it would be like to do something like that, but use my lyrics and my kind of style.

I don't enjoy being a celebrity, I don't want any part of that or any part of that fame for fame... i'd actually rather die than be a celebrity slime!!!

I think the older I get the more creative I get, I don't have the distractions that I had when I was younger.

I thought, I'm in my late 50s now, am I ever gonna get the chance to do another album again?

On my Instagram, I'm always keeping a record of things being pulled down in Soho and shutters being closed. Every city - and London more than anywhere - has got to be a vibrant mix of all different things. We can't allow it to become a monoculture.
