The days of an open mic night when I'd rock up in an old jumper are over.

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.

We don’t read the Bible, the Bible reads us.

That is the rule of the Wilds: You must be bigger and stronger and tougher. You must hurt or be hurt.

Especially in the world of comedy, it feels like you have to be proactive, in terms of pitching and trying to sell and being a part of the creation of the stuff that you do.

I sing in key, thank you very much.

Use of paper has continued to soar. It is as though paper is taking its revenge on the futurists - not that any futurist has ever lost business because of a wrong prediction.

I need nothing but God, and to lose myself in the heart of God.

Frankly, you're always up and down. You're successful and then you're not.

Why is it forbidden in New York to acknowledge the charm and beauty of Los Angeles?

My main interest in being a director, and the most important thing to me, is that world with the actors.
