I naturally make commercial music: it's never been a calculated decision to make pop music. I'm a genuine pop music fan.

In reality, my parents knew that I was a vegetable outside of music. They have fears, they know how tough and competitive it is, but they're happy that there are a lot of people backing me.

A lot of dance producers aren't really musical, they don't care much about detail.

One of my first songs I ever got a decent cut on was with a songwriter out of Xenomania, called 'All Fired Up' for the Saturdays.

For me personally, I've always tried to exude positivity and I feel that it's important for all types of experiences of black men to be seen.

Sometimes, I think 'The Spectator' is calculated to embarrass me.

I'm very calculated with what I do.

When you're making pictures out of heartfelt passion, it hurts when someone calls them a calculated business move.

I think there's a difference between a gamble and a calculated risk.

Time and again, players lose because they make rash decisions. Therefore, you always have to remind yourself - don't hurry. Embarking on a risky combination that cannot be calculated to the end is certainly not the right thing to do.
