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

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.

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.

Whenever I'm making something, the challenge is always to create something that's interesting for me to listen to.

Harmony exists no less in difference than in likeness, if only the same key-note govern both parts.

My obligation right now is to do well for myself, my family, my employees, for my companies. And that's what I do.

Shout out to the fathers that didn't raise us

How poisonous, how crafty, how bad, does every long war make one, which cannot be waged openly by means of force!

Lord, what music hast thou provided for Thy saints in heaven, when Thou affordest bad men such music on earth!

The sea is flowing ever, The land retains it never.

I don't really believe in regret. I think you can always learn from the past, but I wouldn't want a different life.

One siupreme fact which I have discovered is that it is not willpower, but fantasy and imagination that ceates. Imagination is the creative force. Imagination creates reality.

Profit is what happens when you do everything else right.

Every time an adult is going to write something for a teenager and you don't have, physically, a person who is that, you are always going to be a little off.
