As a politician, you have to deal with someone wanting you to fail every day. I think I prefer being in a situation where generally people are rooting for me, and if they aren't rooting for me, they aren't out there to see my downfall. I respect the people who have the stomach for it. ↗

London is a good fashion city. They're a little more daring. There's the element of the aristocracy, which is always interesting. ↗

My first album, 'Get Lifted,' was a hip-hop soul album that had some of its roots in the church, as far as the sonic choices, in the way that I sing and write songs. I have always had that as part of my background and part of my influence when I am making music. ↗

Sometimes there's that perfect moment when the crowd, the music, the energy of the room come together in a way that brings me to tears. ↗
