I'd love to be the new Jools Holland, but you know, for, like, cooler people.

Dubstep has been big in the UK for years. I'm fine with hearing a dubstep drop in any song.

Someone asked me the other day what my favourite record shop was, and I said YouTube.

I don't think I represent all things dubstep. I just like clubbing, so those are the sounds I've chosen to work with.

I'm a big fan of Beyonce and Rihanna. I've listened to Beyonce all my life, and she's a big influence on me.

I'm excited about representing my gender, but at the same time it doesn't matter. I wouldn't say my gender has been a disadvantage.

The first time I went out under the spotlight, I was proper freaked out.

I guess I've been making records since I was 16, and even when 50 people bought them, I thought that was amazing.

I've always known my own mind, and I'm not shy about speaking it.

Studying music, everyone sort of has their own style - it's not like everyone's going for the same part.

My dad was a soul fan and a singer himself, and he loved vocal harmony, stuff like the Beach Boys and Motown like the Four Tops, which was a big influence on me.

Do not allow any thing to disturb you.

Live your best sacred-life.

It is the nature of the strong heart, that like the palm tree it strives ever upwards when it is most burdened.

Motown was about music for all people - white and black, blue and green, cops and the robbers. I was reluctant to have our music alienate anyone.

No matter what culture you're from, everyone loves music.

A carefully cultivated heart will, assisted by the grace of God, foresee, forestall, or transform most of the painful situations before which others stand like helpless children saying “Why?

Even worse than seeing women's privacy violated on social media is reading the accompanying comments that show such a lack of empathy.

Feeling is the language that speaks to the Divine Matrix (the Universe). Feel as though your goal is accomplished and your prayer is already answered.

Bobby Cox had the biggest influence in my career and probably the second- or third-biggest influence in my life.

Memories... images and precious thoughts that shall not die and cannot be destroyed.
