Professor Green’s chat with BBC Asian Network presenter, Preeya Kalidas, see his main quotes below.
'I'm not Adele, I'm not going to make a heartbreak album'
PG: You know, I’m not Adele. I’m not going to make a heartbreak album. I’m much more focussed on looking forward.
PK: I love that. You talked earlier about tabloid attention that you received. Have you still received loads and that’s just part and parcel of what you do?
PG: It’s calming down though. It’s calming down.
PK: But do you think it helps?
PG: No
PK: Do you think it helps to sell records?
PG: No, I think it’s of detriment. I think it definitely was to me. When you look at where I was positioned and the world that I then kind of got dragged into unwillingly. I wasn’t naïve, I thought there would be a bit of it but I didn’t think it would become what it did.
PK: But why do you think it is calming down because people were really interested in your relationship?
PG: Yeah but I don’t sell my relationships. That’s not me. I’m not parading my relationships and I will never do that again. I will never ever, ever put myself in that position again where a relationship becomes…that’s not happening
'I'm not going red I'm going green!!'
PK: Rita Ora, I heard you two have been hanging out
PG: Don’t know what you’re on about mate? For as long as there’s plausible deniability. You’re cheeky you are.
PK: You’ve gone red!
PG: I haven’t gone red, I definitely haven’t gone red. Don’t say it coz people can’t see me. I’ve gone green, I’m wearing green, I am green, er gangrene!
'I rate Calvin Harris'
PG: Do you know what it is for me, I just want to put music out. I rate Calvin Harris for this. He goes, you know what, I’m not making an album right now, I’m putting out songs as soon as they’re finished. If a song is good to go, it’s going out, and I think we’ve got the freedom to do that now. People want new music. I wasn’t a big fan of the immediacy of everything, but I’m coming round to it. It’s a great way of just putting new music out and going and performing it.
