“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.”

When I was growing up we didn’t have a massive house and there were five women running around, so my dad and I had to stick together!

I will confess I am a great wingman. Since I have a girlfriend, I’ll start the night with her, but then I’ll help out the guys by making them sound like the most incredible guys in the world.

If I were a food, I’d be a Chili because you know.. I’m hot.

I don’t know if we’ll ever get used to the attention from the fans.

What i do in my personal time is about me. if other people dont agree, then it doesn’t matter ‘cos it’s my opinion and that’s what counts at the end of the day.

I’m gay. It’s pretty unfortunate.

There’s nothing that annoys me more than people being horrible to my mates.

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.

It would take a lot of time and effort (to repair the computers). And they can’t run (programs and games) kids are interested in today. They’re not even on the Internet. We wouldn’t be offering them much of a carrot.

English bohemians sit in cold orderly rows, like carrots.

I never worry about diets. The only carrots that interest me are the number you get in a diamond.
