unless
I will never say I am committed to somebody unless I'm serious about that person.
crosses languages record strives
I think every artist strives for a record that crosses all energy, lines, boundaries or languages or barriers.
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.
change love
The Americans love me because I'm so completely unwilling to change my whole Britishness.
again continue hating love music
I'd really started hating music. I'd started hating all the songs, hating being in the industry, hating doing the shows. So I had to learn to love music again if I wanted to continue doing this.
female ms
I am a black British female artist, so I must be like Ms Dynamite, I must be like Shystie, I must be like Jamelia, but we're all different.
great happens might rid room sit song sort turn
I can sit in my room and write a song that I think might be a hit. I can sort of make myself do that, and then I'll play it to a friend, and they'll say, 'Oh, that's nice.' But when something happens to me, and I sit down and write a song to get rid of my emotions, they'll turn around and say, 'Wow, that's great.'
love
You know, sometimes you fall in love and you get treated badly, sometimes you get treated well.
leads people
If I don't agree with something, I let people know, and it occasionally leads to tension. But I usually iron things out.
boy strong telling women
A lot of my girlfriends are always telling me they're really strong independent women, but they've got their boy on the side, and they only go over when he calls.
life man
The man for me has to have his own life or be as busy as me.
education
I know there are things I did in education that will never be reversed. I have not done that in film yet because I have only been here for about nine months.
dad dream fun kids living playing team
It's been fun playing on the same team together. I know my dad has always wanted two of his kids to play on the same team, so I think we are kind of living out a dream for him.
closer collins easier few game gotten hard last mesh next team time year
It was kind of hard for us to have Collins in the first game because they have pretty much the same team back from last year so it was easier for them to mesh together. I think we have gotten a lot closer over the last few games, so it will be interesting the next time we play them.
