Big Narstie

I would say it was God blessing my life and giving me the opportunity to do everything I'm doing. ”

My position in life has always been to be that person in the room who can make the conversation and break down any awkwardness. ”

The reason my management get upset with me the most is that they don't know what's going to come out my mouth. ”

At 18, I could have not been here. I could have been another statistic. All the odds were in favour of my just going to prison at that age. I had no visions of being a superstar. ”

The only way you can learn is by analysing yourself and taking in your mistakes. ”

I'm not really a comedian, innit; I just naturally say things which people class as funny. ”

Fans, when they see me, they're like, 'Rah, he's a real funny person,' but everyone who grew up with me is like, 'Rah, that's Fat Tyrone.' ”

Everyone uses grime as a footstool, but imagine Biggie Smalls started doing hip hop, and it started going well, and then he started making RnB: there would be no hip hop! ”

It's OK to have up days. It's OK to have down days. But especially remember it's OK to talk to people and let them know you're not OK. Don't think it's something you have to keep to yourself to fit in or to be normal. There's no such thing as normal. ”

I appreciate both good and bad - I don't want to sit in a bubble where everyone just tells me everything positive to keep my morale high. ”
