The reality show 'America's Next Top Model' is my girlie pleasure.
The only thing I don't have is hips.
The Grammy snuck up on me. I was on tour. It just hit me. I skipped down the street in Vienna. I kept saying, 'I won. I won.'
When I'm full, I stop eating.
Why should you stay in one place and one country if they're not offering you a job? It doesn't make sense!
When my career slowed, I knew deep down it wasn't over.
If there is enough space on radio for Busted and McFly, who are basically the same band, or for 50,000 versions of Stereophonics and Coldplay, there must be enough room for all of us.
I got into hip hop from my uncle; he was always playing us Kool G Rap and Big Daddy Kane. He was a bad boy, and my mum was not really happy that I was hanging out with him.
I started writing an album on flights to Africa and Brazil, but it was crazy because I left the notebook on the plane. It had seven or eight songs in it. After that, I'm not writing any more songs on notebooks - and I keep my Blackberry close!
I learned that working out gives me a space to get clear. It's not just about the body. It gives me space to process things and get clear in my mind about decisions and things I want to do.
This fame is a juggernaut: It slaps you in the face, and you don't know what you're doing. You don't know who has your back, who is your support system.
When I need things to happen, I need them to happen now, you know. I don't want to be having a meeting about a meeting about a meeting, which is what can happen in Britain.
Walking round the Champs-Elysees late at night is the greatest time.
You can be sexy, but respect yourself and make sure you get that respect.
I'm so sick of hearing that U.K. hip hop doesn't get credit and success when I'm working to get it - for me and for others, too.
I grew up in a house full of music. Everything from reggae and afro-beat to Zook and pop.
If you cannot smile when you listen to music, then do not listen to it!
With my music, I don't have to stay in one lane. One day I'm in Motown, and the next day I'm in reggae.
For four years, my mum allowed only church music in the house.
Garage music came up when people weren't paying attention.
I hate that if you do one style of music or become really well known for that one song, that everything that comes after has to fit that mold.
