I listen to a lot of jazz. I'm a big Sinatra geek. I love Chet Baker.

I'm not a great fiction reader. I love history. I love history and philosophy.

I love the fact that everyone's trying to be good-looking in L.A. - then I turn up and I get work.

What I love about the East End is that there's a great perseverance, determination and courage. What I dislike about it is that there is sometimes a celebration of ignorance.

I love Bethnal Green and where I'm from. Nothing there, especially the people, ever held me back, but I never felt that I was successful there.

I listen to a lot of Solange. I love old-school as well.
