There's no cowboys in England.

The only queen I know is my mum.

I'm about love and unity, always.

I don't believe dying's a sad thing.

It's a primitive thing, kings and queens.

Music's the biggest way of connecting people.

I want to connect with people that feel unseen.

I have to carve my own way. Build. It takes time.

I've never had big diamonds; I never had big cars.

My music just stands for being true to who you are.

I think blood doesn't determine who your family is.

I appreciate film and stuff that's visually pleasing.

Life shouldn't be something that's draining and long.

I always felt just that I didn't fit into certain groups.

You need to be your own biggest fan before anyone else can be.

I don't really like reading: I like seeing and touching images.

I don't feel like I should just be a rapper. That's boring to me.

As long as I'm happy, I don't care about accolades or anything else.

I think life's about the experiences, and variety is the spice of life.

Daniel Johnston is someone I discovered on YouTube that's weird but wonderful.

I feel like I want to make everyone happy. I want everyone around me to be happy.

People feel like they have to hide their true colors to please the people around them.

Once you get to a certain age, if you have resentment towards people, it only affects you.

I think one of the most important things is just being outside and in touch with nature. You need it!

I don't want to follow in the footsteps of anybody that went before, because they didn't do what I want to do.

If you've paid your hard-earned money to see a gig, you want to be entertained. That's what I wanna give my fans.

Anywhere you go, where people are at the bottom, we've all got the same outlook on life and want to strive for more.

Take everything that's bad in your life and look at the positive within it. Don't ever see your glass as half-empty.

If I have a voice to shine light on things or draw attention or provoke, as an artist people look to - I should do that.

I never want to make one type of music. You wouldn't just eat sushi for the rest of your life - there's so much more food.

A woman can't teach a man how to be a man. But she can teach you how to nurture, how to care, how to love, and how to give.

I don't believe in the whole thing of staying anywhere - we are meant to explore, to travel, and meant to spread our roots.

If you don't embrace the bad, you can never truly embrace the good and be grateful and have gratitude for the tiniest things.

I'm about growth for myself. So if I've made a lot of mistakes, and I haven't learnt from them, then I've failed as a human being.

I don't wanna be a Londoner! Growing up, that was hell - being one of them kids who wears Air Force 1s and that. It made me feel sick.

Community and families are what we're neglecting. This is what's holding us back as people, and instead, we want to look at everything else.

Growing up, I was a big boxing and wrestling fan. I love people like the Undertaker and Prince Naseem: they knew how to make a big entrance!

I feel like when people are talking about how they make music or how they are the biggest rapper, I don't understand how that's relatable to people.

It doesn't matter what you believe in or where you're from. It doesn't matter what group you're in: we're all the same. We all end up in the same-sized box.

I always want to talk about real life, not about material possessions. I've got to tell the story of the people for the people and not for celebrity or fame.

I want to play guitar, piano, drums, write songs for other people. I can do punk - I can do indie - but as long as it has my voice, it'll always be my sound.

The most iconic applause I've ever seen is from a Michael Jackson show in Japan - his entrance is actually 15 minutes long, and the crowd is clapping the whole time.

Spend time in your head and figure yourself out. Start taking note of all the things you do that you don't like, and then you're more conscious of it, and you learn.

I can find the worst thing in the world funny. My humour is dark. If I'm talking about the worst situations in my life, it's like a comedy - you can laugh at my pain.

I like to have something that makes me want to write. Otherwise, I'm just writing for the sake of it. I feel like if I've got something to say, I'll say it the right way.

I was always inspired by the people I was around, like the older people spitting in my area or in Northampton, but I just always wanted to be better than the people that was around me.

I love this country, but I feel like we're losing sight of who actually holds the power and what makes us great: it's the people, the communities, the small places that are forgotten, everyone that's striving.

The mystery is cool, but, at the same time, if I'm trying to empower people, I have to be an open book. You can see my flaws, the mistakes I've made. From that, make your own judgment and move on your own path.

The first musical thing I remember someone recommending to me is probably Ludacris - the one where he has massive arms in the music video. 'Get Back.' It was recommended to me by my cousin, who's now my manager.

The first thing I wanted to be growing up was a solicitor, because all the people around me needed solicitors! But I never really followed it up. Then I wanted to be a dessert chef because I liked the presentation.
