FKA Twigs

It feels even further than for most people.

So I think both.

I think my mom did put me under pressure when I was a kid, but also I thrive under pressure.

So it's kind of a double-edged sword, I guess.

And she knew that...

I could achieve things and she encouraged me to do those things.

But I didn't ever feel like I was doing something I didn't want to do.

I always felt like I wanted to, but I think sometimes it was difficult.

And as a child, there are certain complexities that you don't understand why it's difficult.

But obviously now I'm older, you know, I grew up in, I've spoken about this so many times at this point, but I grew up in a very white area.

I was the only, there was one other mixed race girl that I ever knew in my area.

Um, and then there was one mixed race boy who was like my English teacher's son that I knew of, but otherwise like that, that was really it in terms of, I guess, like kids.

Um, so now I know I, that I was feeling it was difficult because of other, I guess, like

social and like economical reasons but as a child you don't understand you know you're just like why is this different for me yeah controversially I do believe in encouraging children to do a lot of clubs and stay really active and be competitive and follow your dreams and you know be competitive with yourself more than anyone else you know I know that

Like there's different ways of parenting, but at least on me, it worked to be given a very focused drive and goal.

Maybe, you know, that's just my personality maybe.

Yeah, making a child feel like they matter.

Yeah, it's the best thing.

Like spotting a talent.

Yeah.
