I make music, and if people like it, they like it, and some people won't.

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.

but I have no mind for business and considered staying awake to be enough of an accomplishment.

though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given to him to till.

Dispassionate objectivity is itself a passion, for the real and for the truth.

As a musician or a performer, you're meant to know what you're about, but it's ridiculous that someone 14 would have any idea of what they're about.

It would be nice if you have a hit. But I don't think it's necessary to continue with my career at this point.

No, Not even remotely...Because I don't care. I don't pick roles based on how famous they are going to make me, I pick roles based on how they're going to inspire me intellectually.

Were you to realize the forms minute and glorious, which invisibly play their parts in service around you, there could be no monotony - only a divine rapture of gratitude for such ministry.

My vocals are bad, I can't sing, hey man, I wouldn't ask you to do a drum roll if your arm was falling off.

We all not only could know everything. We do. We just tell ourselves we don't to make it all bearable.

Gratitude is what opens the spiritual doors to all the blessings. Everything becomes clear, you see, you feel, you live.
