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

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.

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.

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.

My problem is that people get intimidated by someone big and beautiful like me. They hate to think I can be smart as well.

Truth hates delay. (Veritas odit moras.)

As long as you hate, there will be people to hate.

I hate high heels, more than anything.

Those who enjoy the emotion of hating are much like the groups who sate their thirst for blood by hunting and hounding to death helpless animals as an outlet for their emotions.

Some [actors] are really a pain in the ass today. I held out on getting an assistant forever because I didn’t want to seem demanding… or like a pain in the ass. I didn’t want someone working for me to hate me.

I don’t like spinach, and I’m glad I don’t, because if I liked it I’d eat it, and I just hate it.

True patriotism hates injustice in its own land more than anywhere else.
