I was brought up by the English side of my family, who are very repressed and working class. Absolutely lovely, but very English.

When I was little, I grew up in a place called Hertfordshire, which is just near London, but out in the country, and I visited Pakistan in the summers to go and see my family on my dad's side.

My upbringing was very straightforward suburban working class upbringing.

I'm a working-class person, working with class.

We come from a tough, working class background, so we're very tight.

In a repressed society, artists fulfil a sense of harking back to instant gratification, or immediate expression, by doing things that function on the edge of society, or outside of what is conventionally accepted.
