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.

How can I care about needing a visa to travel if the furthest I'm going to travel is the town centre? For a person to care about Brexit - it's only for people who are in a certain state of mind.

Some people see what I don't see - I'm just so happy to do all of this just being myself. The same thing what you get on the TV, you will see in your local Asda or the pound shop.

I am very thankful and blessed that I haven't had to sell my soul and be anything that I'm not.

I buried my dad the day I started Craig David's tour. Buried him, got on this tour bus in Stratford, and hit the road. Mixed emotions.

'The Big Narstie Show' is, basically, Channel 4 gave me a good amount of dough to be myself.

Going back about 10 years ago, the only thing a black kid could do to get out of the ghetto was being a sports star. Now we can add music to that, which is a good achievement in itself.

Years ago, when I was making music, I was sending it off to radio stations and getting told it was 'too urban.' But what else am I supposed to make?

Grime's always been big at festivals. Grime's always had an underground crew.

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

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

I've created a new sound. I've actually brought back dancing and vibes; it's more universal.

My passion is music. That's where my heart is.

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

The only diversity in the Brits is with the Americans. I've been saying this for a while: for our country to do good, we need to embrace our country.

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!

If I haven't rested, or I haven't slept or had food or done the normal basic things as a human being, how could I stand in front of a camera and do stuff, you know what I mean? It's mad!

I would say 'The Big Narstie Show' is the United Colours of Benetton; it's for everyone. But I would definitely say that it has a black appeal, because that's what I am.

Big Narstie

Being an artist comes with responsibility as well. You want people to come to your shows and feel safe.

Big Narstie

The danger is that the artists who'll put grime into the commercial and public eye will put grime at the back of their closets and jump on another genre of music.

I'm so thankful that Mum taught me to cook, because not every day is a takeaway day.

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

I'm in front of cameras a lot; I'm used to it.

I'm lucky; I've been raised with the right morals.

I'm the prime example of it; think about it, you know. My whole career has blown up by genuine people power.

I don't really know what I'm doing that's making everybody happy.

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.'

I'm not from a conventional world, innit? So the fact that I'm getting a chance to express my world in society and TV is epic.

Big Narstie

Hopefully I've inspired a lot of people who thought they'd never be able to get their own TV show to give it a go.

Big Narstie

I was very lucky - how many people can say they did a song with John Barnes and played football with him?

I'm a breath of fresh air, and there hasn't been something this black on TV for a very long time.

I didn't get played on radio or TV for 3 years. They all told me the same thing: it was too urban. They don't see grime music as commercial music, but all music is commercial; it's how you make it. That's what I'm trying to say.

Big Narstie

I was like, 'If I bang your thing, will you bang my thing? Will you sing on my album?' And he was like, 'Yeah, of course.' So I've got Robbie Williams on my album. Robbie Williams on grime.

None of my friends go to places like Selfridges. I'm a regular at the pound shop!
