“We needed to make a sound that’s not gonna fit in with everything else – we wanted to make something that was completely unique and individual to us. We spent a lot of time trying to make a sound that was a One Direction sound. At first it was quite hard to do that, but I’m really happy with the sound.”

I do believe in love at first sight. I’m experiencing it everyday.

Loving someone who doesn’t love you is like waiting for a ship at the airport.

In life, we always fall for the person who will never fall for us, always want things we can’t have, and say things we shouldn’t.

I thought I had a type but I don’t really have a type anymore. I just look for a girl who doesn’t take herself too seriously.

Everyone happens for a reason, learn it and move on. Don’t be bitter about what happened, be happy about what will.

I’m very attracted to a girl’s eyes. I think you can tell a lot by a girl’s eyes

There comes a day when you realize turning the page is the best feeling in the world.

When we were on ‘The X Factor,’ we didn’t realize how overnight the fame thing was. We didn’t really understand it until we went on a shopping trip. It was like Week 7 or 8 of the show. We went with a few other contestants and there were loads of people, packed.

Never look back, reminising on yesterday, smile for the future, tomorrow’s a new day.

I can’t swim but if my girlfriend was drowning, I’d still dive in to save her.

Just because you don’t have a prince, doesn’t mean your not a princess.

One Direction is the main thing I’m doing and I’m 100 per cent dedicated to the group.

I love the fact I grew up wanting a brother and now I have four.

It’s pretty strange because you have images of people in your head when you left, then you just think they’re going to be the same when you come back, like time freezes. I have sisters and from the ages of 11 to 13 – it’s a big change for girls.

Two years ago, if anyone had told me I’d be doing half the stuff I’m doing, I wouldn’t have believed it.

I prefer to date younger girls to be more protective.

We are all unique and need to set our own path.

People who can be with you in your hard moments are the ones you need to keep forever.

Sometimes, challenges and struggles are exactly what we need in our lives.

Never needed acceptance from all you outsiders.

Everything I need now is here.

Society and loved ones will feed you exactly what you want to hear rather than what you need to hear.

The distractions that stop us from our dreams need to be ignored.

All you need is yourself
