What book has most inspired you? All about love by bell hooks(美国黑人女性主义思想家) taught me so much about the nuance(细微差别)s of connection and desire; it helped me make sense of(理解;弄懂) the world and embrace my sensitivity. She had such a compassionate and inspired approach to truth-telling that I try to carry with me wherever I go.(她讲述真相的方式既富同情心又充满灵感,我走到哪里都努力带着这份态度。)

What albums or artists have most shaped your sense of self(自我认知;自我意识)? British music has shaped me completely. In Rainbows by Radiohead taught me to yearn(渴望;向往), bend genres(打破流派界限) and embrace minimalism(极简主义). Blue Lines and Mezzanine by Massive Attack mould(塑造;影响)ed my taste in drums and song structure. Dummy by Portishead encouraged me to be as vocally naked(声音上毫无遮掩) and unafraid as possible. [The song] Archangel by Burial taught me to embrace the grime and the magic and the grey of London.(Burial的《Archangel》教会我拥抱伦敦的粗粝、魔幻与灰暗。)
