I was bullied by a few people who were much older than me. I went to camp to learn boxing. I was 12, and my coach was 24. I felt like if I could fight him, I could stand up to anyone.

LIAM PAYNEI had a few dating disasters along the way with girls cheating on me. One girl was the inspiration for me singing ‘Cry Me A River’ on ‘The X Factor.’ That was my payback to her because she was unfaithful.
LIAM PAYNEBeing a fan of someone’s show and the way they still hold a family together doesn’t mean I am OK with all they say.
LIAM PAYNEWhen I think about it, I do start to worry about this whole social media thing. It does make me uncomfortable; kids should be out, living their lives, getting out and enjoying themselves.
LIAM PAYNEI think the whole thing, boy band, it’s a little bit of a dirty word. They say it’s not a good thing to be in a boy band. We want to change that. We want to make the boy band cool. It’s not just about dancing and dressing the same.
LIAM PAYNEI had a test on my kidneys a few weeks back and found out I have two.
LIAM PAYNEThe feather was a thing, when I was a kid, we used to find feathers around the house, and whenever we found them, my mum used to say it was my nan leaving them around for us to find, so that was quite sweet.
LIAM PAYNEI really liked one girl and asked her out 22 times, but she always said no. Finally I sang to her, and she said she’d go out with me.
LIAM PAYNEPeople sometimes ask if I want to be a solo artist, but it just wouldn’t be any fun being on your own.
LIAM PAYNEI’ve still got both kidneys, but one doesn’t work, so I have to be careful not to drink too much, even water, and I have to keep myself as healthy as possible.
LIAM PAYNEIt’s important to have a life outside the band.
LIAM PAYNEI listened to a lot of Jay-Z and Kanye coming up, which would be unexpected for a boy bander like me. But I’d listen to a lot of that, and a lot of Ed Sheeran, actually.
LIAM PAYNEOn our American tour bus, the bunks are a bit taller so that we don’t bash our heads. On the English bus, we bash our heads every morning. It’s not the best thing to do first thing when you wake up.
LIAM PAYNEPlease don’t throw phones. They hurt. And we sell them on eBay.
LIAM PAYNEI’d just like to be able to walk outside as everyone does and enjoy time with my friends, not feel bad for not wanting to take a picture.
LIAM PAYNEWhen I was born, I was effectively dead. Weird, I know. The doctors couldn’t get any reaction from me, so I had to be brought round, and although it seemed like I was okay, there were underlying problems.
