“I would go back to the past and watch one of the early Beatles shows, because they were such a massive part of cultural history. As a younger person, you feel you missed out on that.”

I had this dream…that we had this new sixth member, for some reason, and he actually ended up being quite horrible! And he started a fight with me! And I wanted him to go away and none of the boys were helping me!

The Story of My Life is drinking cups of tea, eating coco pops and playing Playstation.

I wan’t a girl who is fun and loves adventure.

We’re not perfect, we’re not clean cut. We’re just trying to be ourselves.

Always be nice to people. Whatever how bad they are to you. To show them you are not like them.

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

I quite like American music, like The Fray – I’m a massive fan of them – and The Killers. I also like more acoustic stuff like Ed Sheeran; I like this English songwriter James Morrison and another singer called Ben Howard.

In week one of the X Factor, just to be a little bit quirky, I decided to say that I like girls who eat carrots. Ever since I’ve had lots and lots and lots of carrots.

In my first video diary I explained my love for women who have a taste in carrots. Since then, I have received plenty of carrots. Now I also have a keen interest in women who like Lamborghinis.

I think my mom just filled me with confidence. I just thought I was the best at everything. Like any mother really.

I’m normally last and I’m quite a late person and that is just who I am.

All my mates are at university, and it’s a life I haven’t had a chance to enjoy, so it’s great to turn up and sample a bit of it.

You can’t go to sleep without a cup of tea and maybe thats the reason that you talk in your sleep.

I love the big red bus!

I secretly want to be a zebra. That is why I always wear stripes.

Sometimes I think I’m not normal, and I get weirder and weirder everyday.

Lawrence Hill, a cultural and spiritual descendant of West African griots, has used his vast storytelling talents to create an epic story that spans three continents.

To conjure with the passive culture and adapt to its rules is to degrade and deny the fullness of our meaning and intention.

We try to avoid the single-building syndrome. You have to look at the big picture. If you try to put social and cultural development ahead of economic development, it doesn’t work. You have to do it all together.

Re-vision – the act of looking back, of seeing with fresh eyes, of entering an old text from a new critical direction – is for woman more than a chapter in cultural history: it is an act of survival.

One does not give birth in a void, but rather in a cultural and political context. Laws, professional codes, religious sanctions, and ethnic traditions all affect women’s choices concerning childbirth.

All cultural, religious, and political efforts and ideals are crippled since the culture is engaged only in luring ever more tourists.

I would never call myself cultural elite, but you might be cultural elite.

The essence of a field is that the cultural accommodates the natural there.
