Once a song's out there, it's no longer mine. And that's the whole purpose of music: to belong to people.
People generally let me be me. People are aware that I'm not someone particularly begging for attention. They hold back a bit with me.
I just aspire to pick people up. That's my ambition.
I'm not shy or reclusive. I just spend my time with people rather than journalists.
When I was young, people were almost identified solely by the kind of music they liked. People fell into categories of who liked what.
London was a really multi-racial city ... It's incredible how comfortable people are with race there.
People are so used to having their lives filmed, they're not even conscious of having cameras around. I still have that sort of suspicion when a camera comes out. I view it as a thing to fear.
