"I’ve read a lot about climate change. Mostly it’s depressing—which isn’t a good reason to not understand it. But this book from Amory Lovins and his Rocky Mountain Institute is an antidote for doom and gloom. It offers a thoroughly researched set of options for engineering our way out of the crisis."

"It’s a great meditation on how we treat and mistreat ‘the other.’ A magical, thought provoking film that I saw at a time in my life when I was questioning a lot of things about the nature of humanity and how we react when we come up against the unknown and unknowable."

"This record was revolutionary. Very subtle, very elegant. I do a lot of collaborations now. This record gave me all the answers I needed at that time. I realised that you can work with people and keep your soul. You don't need to change anything. Keep being yourself. Keep defending your truth."

"“It brought forth the revolutionary in me. I think that Malcolm X represented a lot of authentic militarism during a time of integration and segregation in the 50s and 60s. So he just gave me a new perspective on how he felt about integration and human rights – not just African-American rights.”"

"This is what I listened to a lot during the 2019 World Championships in Doha. The 'being on top of the world' lyrics just really motivated me. You don't want too many songs like Eminem's 'Lose Yourself' where the lyrics can hype you up too much, but this one really resonated with me.'

"I’ve read a lot of Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky and Chekhov, but I loved this for Prince Lev Nikolayevich Myshkin, who is so disarmingly pure. I loved his descriptions of how he saw the world, and how he saw life, and was so surprised and delighted by the fact that it makes you giggle."
