More quotes by Tinie Tempah
When I was about 14 I remember thinking when it came to proposing to my future girlfriend, I'd make a CD with all her favourite songs and a message that said, Will you marry me? Shows you what a romantic I was. No one listens to CDs any more. It's all about iTunes.

I'm quite a fan of British designers.

I watched a film called 'Elephant' recently. Its not stylish in the sense of expensive suits and Italian cars, but the styling on every single character is spot on.
Tinie Tempah
If I go to an awards ceremony, I wear a suit, of course I do. I am proud to be there. If there are young kids looking at pictures of me, I want them to feel that they should long for the opportunity to go somewhere really smart and wear a beautiful suit, rather than to reject that.

I'm really big on family. I'll love catching up with my cousins. Everyone's in their twenties, so they're all on their grind at the moment, but when we get the time, I'll fly everybody to Amsterdam or Ibiza, and we can just hang for a week, chill, do nothing.

As a young guy from south London, I wanted to be able to make myself stand out.

I don't want to achieve less than my mum and dad.

You have to do a show, an interview, you've got to go straight back on the road to another location, make a track and edit things like footage etc. It's non stop. I really respect the hustle and work rate of Chipmunk, as well as N-Dubz and Tinchy Stryder.

When you look at the Lady Gagas of the world, or the Jay-Zs, or the Black Eyed Peas, these are people who have one album release and it's a worldwide one.

This is the kind of fashion I grew up on - a good pair of trainers, great denim - and I will always love high-end streetwear.
Tinie Tempah
I feel like I'm indirectly showing people, not that there's another way, but just that if you really have a dream, you should try and give it a go.
Tinie Tempah
I'm merely a fan of fashion from high end to streetwear, from Nike to Comme des Garcons.
Tinie Tempah
I enjoyed my upbringing, my siblings did, we're polite, we're respectful, but at the end of the day we're young, we like to have fun. But now, more so than ever, the youth has been vilified to the point where it feels like you can't enjoy being young any more, you just have to sit it out and wait until you get old.
Tinie Tempah
I think it's imperative to have faith or religion, because it's good to have morals, to be kind to others.
Tinie Tempah
Being able to travel the world is pretty cool. There are places that I've always wanted to go to but being able to go there as somebody who's a musician and is recognised as one is cool.
Tinie Tempah
I watched my parents go from having very basic jobs to educating themselves, to buying a house. They set a really good bar for what they wanted their kids to achieve.

Grime is a particular style of music. You've got electro, funk and garage grime is its darker side. It's constantly evolving.
Tinie Tempah
I'm so down to earth, I'm bringing gravity back.
Tinie Tempah
I definitely believe in God.

Fashion Week is surprisingly very short. At least the actual runway shows are.
