Bold & Non-Bold Text In A Single UILabel?

I was wondering if its possible to have two separate font sizes/styles for two different parts of the same string: (See picture) ![Example of two different font sizes in same string][1]

http://i.stack.imgur.com/sUv5z.png

Is there any possible way to do this without going to the hassle of combining two strings, (Basically I'm pulling quotes from an array but I want to have who said the quote in a different font size/style from the quote itself)

// I believe it has something to do with attributed text but still have no idea..

Kind Regards,

Jack

There's a helpful Stack Overflow question on this point:

Looked at it already, It seems to be for Objective-C though, I'm looking for an answer in Swift. Thanks anyway :)
