Someone asked me the other day what my favourite record shop was, and I said YouTube.

Dubstep has been big in the UK for years. I'm fine with hearing a dubstep drop in any song.

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.

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

I want to safeguard the value of lunch. For me, it is sacred. My family and I always have lunch and dinner together. And we always sit down. Food does not taste the same if you are standing up!

Expectations are like hidden rocks in your path , All they do is trip you up

(existing's tricky:but to live's a gift)

I'm living a dream. I hope in 10 years people will know me as a gold medalist.

You can do a lot with Scotch tape. Almost anything! I love that you can hem a dress, and its an instant remedy in a fashion crises.

Reason is our soul's left hand, Faith her right, By these we reach divinity

The Kalahari is brilliant - and easy to visit.

An anthill increases by accumulation. Medicine is consumed by distribution. That which is feared lessens by association. This is the thing to understand.

I've always had people come up to me to say that they admire the way I play, and then they tell me they're not United fans. That's always been nice.

Matter is simply a concept. The world is made of language.
