I briefly flirted with the idea of more stable career choices but they never excited me. I know it's a bit of a cliche but I remember doing school plays in primary school and feeling at home on the stage.

Certainty regarding your career aged 15 is very unusual.

I've got to be honest, with every job I do there's a part of me, that child in me, that goes, 'This is the one.' And it rarely actually is.

I read somewhere that people who make lists are more likely to achieve their ambitions.

My dad is my biggest musical inspiration.

I have learned so much from Nelson Mandela, and he has been my leader. He is a perpetual inspiration for me and millions of others around the world.

My father was a great inspiration, and there was a bit of competition between us. He'd work in his studio, and I'd work in my space, but the door was always half open.

My guide is the Modi government at the Centre. It's my inspiration. I will follow that.
