My uncle was a music producer and even he'd tell me to get a proper job. I tried to get him to give me five grand to make an album - it didn't happen.

It's nice to just do my hobby and be able to live.

I understand people have to go to work and earn money and bring up kids, but I always thought, "Why can't I just do what I want to do?"

I want to move away from sampling records and just have it be quite minimal. I don't want any more hip-hop beats in there.

I'm a long way off finishing the LP, but I've got an idea in my head of exactly how I want it to look and sound.

Maybe I should disappear and not make anymore music. I mean, I think I'd take it really badly if I got slayed.

I was really into hip-hop as a teenager. I dressed up like Tupac with baggy jeans and a dodgy bandanna around my head. I was pretty confused at that time.

There's just so much stuff that sounds like Flying Lotus now - I really like what he does, but I don't want to be like him. The new stuff is more experimental.

I usually find stuff that I hope no one really knows or cares about. If I'm ripping off something that's already brilliant, what's the point?

I have loads of stuff that never came out because I really don't think it's good enough.

If you take you away from me, you take everything.

Why bring him in my life at all when he never was meant to stay?

Death is only a byproduct of terrorism.

Genius begins great works labor alone finishes them.

I love when clothes make cultural statements and I think personal style is really cool.

A lot of teams, I think, are just happy to make the post-season. Here, you have to win.

The country is governed for the richest, for the corporations, the bankers, the land speculators, and for the exploiters of labor.

I don't think Donald Trump is afraid of journalists. If he was, he wouldn't be on the TV every hour on the hour.

To gain unshakable faith in Jesus Christ is to flood your life with brilliant light.

Being an actress in China, Im actually a very lucky actress... Especially now that Chinese movies are becoming more diverse with more viewers overseas.
