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

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.

Love happens sublimely, serenely and accidentally! It will happen when you least expect it to!

On a cloudless night, inky dark, with only a rind of a moon above, the Golem and the Jinni went walking together along the Prince Street rooftops.

Politics preys on people's naivety

Music should strike fire from the heart of man, and bring tears from the eyes of woman.

He (Gil Hodges) fields better on one leg than anybody else I got on two.

Music journalists love Elvis Costello and hate me because they look like Elvis Costello

I think that a lot of us at home are iron chefs in their own right in that we have to come up with meals real quickly.

A man of maxims only is like a Cyclops with one eye, and that in the back of his head.

I shot a couple of movies in jail, but I was never in jail.

Life is worth celebrating and worth living even though we're all headed to the same hole at the end of the day.
