I Am A Hip-hop Artist, As You

My Father Was An Engineer And My Mother Was A Social Worker, And They Met As Young Socialists. That Probably Tells You Everything You Need To Know About My Attitude To Money - I've Never Really Been Bothered About It.

I Was Always Being Called Upon To Be An Honorary Boy Alongside My Brothers. I Don't Think I'd Be A Comic Now If It Hadn't Been For That.

I Tried To Eat Better Too, But When You're On Tour You Literally Just Eat Some Hideous Pork Pie On The Motorway On The Way To A Show. It's A Really Unhealthy Lifestyle: You're Up Late, Drinking Loads Of Coffee To Stay Awake, Drinking Loads Of Alcohol Because You're Socialising With People.

I Did Try When I Wasn't Doing The Singing To Do As Much Comedy As I Could Because I Thought With Comic Relief You Are Duty Bound To Anyway.

How Do You Conduct An Intimate Relationship Where No One Ever Loses It? Where No One Ever Lashes Out, Where No One Ever Smacks Anyone In The Mouth?
