I've got rid of a lot of cynicism and anger. I feel positive about my development, and I just want to carry on making music and building myself as a person.

Sometimes I'll listen to a lyric and I'll be so pissed off that I didn't write it.

I was always wrapped around music being a tradition, a skill.

My mum used to work in New York in Spike Lee's shop, she did the outfits for the video for P.M. Dawn's "Set Adrift on Memory Bliss".

I've mainly been sampling jazz because the tone of the chords are expressive in itself, so it's quite nice to write over.

Those who think they know everything will learn nothing.

All wealth is relative; and so is its absence.

The library was the place I went to find out what there was to know. It was absolutely essential.
