I'm really happy that I got to work with such fresh talent. In a day when record companies are not particularly good at encouraging young, talented songwriters to come forward and get exposure, I think it's important to give tomorrow's songwriters the opportunity.

My whole life has been a bit like a Nintendo game.

With Maurice suddenly going, I realised... I think I've matured. I don't take things lightly any more.

Everyone's looking to the urban scene for inspiration now.

An artist is an artist because he is not happy with the world, so he creates his own existence.

I'll never get used to living without Mo, but the painful things that surround what happened to him aren't so painful any more - not so raw or so new.

We've been in each other's pockets our entire lives.
