“I love hearing him talk about his music. I just nod my head and pretend I know what he's talking about, because, to be honest, I like old rap music, and I haven't really evolved with the times.
"But he's a good person to talk to and find out what's cool at the minute. But everybody here, it's been so amazing to just see people and hear their life story. It's been so nice to rekindle with people and hear people's stories and find out what's going on – and tell them all of my stories as well."
