“I don’t need the perfect one, I just need somebody who will make me feel like I’m the only one.”

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.

And remember, nobody’s feelings are more important than your own, so take time to love yourself.

I love samosas filled with mincemeat. My mum makes really great ones.

Loving you is what I’ve learned so easily but trying to forget you is the last thing I could hardly learn.

Smile doesn’t mean that someone is happy. Sometimes it just means that you’re strong.

You can say whatever you want about me, I’m not really bothered. But when it starts to upset people I care about or I hear about it from my mum, then that’s a problem.

I’m kind of like a bit of everything wrapped into one.

When people are putting pressure on me I just completely ignore it.

It hurts me when seeing a girl cry. I want to comfort them as long as I canor I’ll end up crying too.

Fans aren’t just fans… they’re part of my family.

I’m not one to get involved with what anyone says about me.

I wouldn’t change anything ’cause I love my life.

You feel a sense of elation seeing yourself on a billboard.

I never feel pressure to be a good role model. I always try to do my best to inspire people to be good and do the right thing, but I just can’t live my life always trying to be a good role model.

It’s the unknown that makes me feel the most vulnerable.

I feel so blessed to just have done what I had done. To be able to just use what God has given me is a blessing. You know, never mind the Grammys, never mind the records, never mind all of that. Just to be able to sing.

I don’t sit around thinking about my titles and roles; I just do what feels right.

Having listened to great songwriters like James Taylor and Carole King, I felt there was nothing new that was coming out that really represented me and the way I felt. So I started writing my own stuff.

Anything that looks good makes you feel better.

Where there is no emotion, there is no motive for violence.
