Lemar interview transcript
Again, it's like at work, man: you pass people. You say 'hi' and have a little banter, but to go out and hang? I don't even go out myself that much, because of the work rate: you don't even get to see your family and your friends that much, so to hang out with popstars… When it's time to rest,
you have to rest. The last four days are the first four days I've had off I think this year; it's just constant, constant. On those days I just sleep.
Have you been surprised at how mad it's gone for you?
Yeah, I'm extremely surprised and extremely happy. You try so much and the reason you try so much for so many years is because you believe there is something there. So it coming is less a surprise, and more a relief. But I was prepared for the long haul, and how big it's gone is a massive surprise for me - and a grateful one.
I've seen some extremely talented people that don't have a chance, some extremely talented people that do have a chance and mess it up, and some people that are just OK and go on to become megastars. You just play with the hand you're dealt, I guess. I know that it is not a hundred percent down to ability; it's just that you've got an opportunity and you should be grateful for it. So for every person who buys a CD or says 'You've done well', for me, that's a humbling thing.
