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.

The man for me has to have his own life or be as busy as me.

I always thought that if record companies didn't understand me, fine - I'd go and do it by myself.

Most of my thinking is done at night.

My mind is always going.

Labrinth is a super talented singer, producer, songwriter from London.

You can be sexy, but respect yourself and make sure you get that respect.

I will never say I am committed to somebody unless I'm serious about that person.

I'm never scared to ask a question or state the obvious, y'know.

I'm not slimming down for anyone and losing my figure.

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 like to write about the things I care about. It's no fun to sing about things you don't like.

The reality show 'America's Next Top Model' is my girlie pleasure.

I will test a guy to within an inch of his sanity because I've been through too much drama. He has to be 100%.

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.

Some days I might be wearing a little dress, and some days I might be wearing something with wings on it and be confusing.

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.

'Something Good' is a feel-good song. A reminder that you're dope and have something wonderful to offer life and yourself and the world.

If I don't agree with something, I let people know, and it occasionally leads to tension. But I usually iron things out.

For four years, my mum allowed only church music in the house.

You know, sometimes you fall in love and you get treated badly, sometimes you get treated well.
