You know if I see a work that really I am very affected by and inspired by then it makes me want to try things with my work that maybe I hadn't considered trying before and I think that is the biggest complement that you can pay somebody.

To think of myself as a role model is extremely flattering, but I could never accept that, because Im just learning like everybody else.

I think that's always very valuable: to keep the mind open to receiving all sorts of information, which can then be used in my work, but also just as a human being.

It varies, I don't think there is any one set way of writing songs or coming up with ideas, it comes in so many ways you know.

There is nothing more boring than doing singing exercises.

Like I have to pretend like I'm a male rapper, that I got stacks and we're in the club, and what do I want to say. And then, when writing Rare I could just be PJ.

I like to be around things that I find inspiring.
