“I want my first son to be called ‘Tommy.’ It will sound great, Tommy Tomlinson”

I like someone who doesn’t take life too seriously. I hate people who are a bit uptight.

I can make your tears fall down like the showers that are British.

To be honest, I don’t think I’m the best role model in the world. I’m pretty immature sometimes.

I can’t really cook, but the first dish I ever made was for my girlfriend, Eleanor. I made chicken breast wrapped in ham, homemade mashed potatoes, and gravy.

Live life for the moment, because everything else is uncertain.

Fans always tell me I’m beautiful, but no one will ever be as beautiful as them

And remember people: you might not be plastic, but you are fantastic!

If you wanna go somewhere, you can do; nothing is stopping you.

One time, Niall sat on the floor for hours trying to find a way of putting his M&M’s in alphabetical order.

Those sound like the three best answers I’ve ever heard on this show even though it’s the first ever of this show!

It’s incredible to have people show their support when your doing something you love.

I’m not great with money. I’d go crazy if I were left to my own devices. My mum and girlfriend sort it out. I’m not driven by it, but I love to be generous.

Even if there’s a tiny tiny chance, isn’t that worth going for it?

My ideas for the future? To take over the world.

When you’re in love you’ll do anything, I’d go to the end of the world.

If you want to do something, Go for it you’ve got nothing to loose.

When I was a child actor, I had the fear that I was going to be cast as the tree.

Too many children in foster care are falling through cracks. Be a hero, take the time learn about adoption today.

If you think about my filmography, I have never done a movie that a kid could go see, except for Iron Giant, and I’m not even on the screen.

When I was a kid, I was like everyone else: afraid of getting nuked. We had drills in school – Sweden was very close to the Soviet Union. There was definitely a lot of tension.

Your kids need your love and attention, and being able to devote myself to them is very fulfilling. As I get older, spending time with my daughters makes things much easier. You learn to put your ego aside.

Before my mother was a King, she climbed trees and wrestled with boys. And won. Even as a child, Coretta Scott demonstrated that her gender would not deter her success, nor did it detract from her strength.

My approach to acting now is so different — I’m fearless because I have nothing to lose. Before [children] my identity was wrapped up in every decision — now, I don’t care.

If your parents never had children, chances are neither will you.
