“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 thought I had a type but I don’t really have a type anymore. I just look for a girl who doesn’t take herself too seriously.

Everyone happens for a reason, learn it and move on. Don’t be bitter about what happened, be happy about what will.

I’m very attracted to a girl’s eyes. I think you can tell a lot by a girl’s eyes

There comes a day when you realize turning the page is the best feeling in the world.

When we were on ‘The X Factor,’ we didn’t realize how overnight the fame thing was. We didn’t really understand it until we went on a shopping trip. It was like Week 7 or 8 of the show. We went with a few other contestants and there were loads of people, packed.

Never look back, reminising on yesterday, smile for the future, tomorrow’s a new day.

I can’t swim but if my girlfriend was drowning, I’d still dive in to save her.

Just because you don’t have a prince, doesn’t mean your not a princess.

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.

It takes a lot of effort to care.

I don’t care if you’re a Republican or a Democrat, there is something profoundly un-American about using the brute force of government to bully someone.

I’ve never had a scandal, but I don’t know if that’s so much because I’m perfect, or because people aren’t caring enough yet. Give it some time. I’ll probably be very upset, but it’s a part of the gig.

I’m tortured because I care. I’m always upset about not doing things as good as I think I could have because I care.

If you think you have the right to health care, you are saying basically that I am your slave. I provide health care… My staff and technicians provide it… If you have a right to health care, then you have a right to their labor.

Every time I think about changing a diaper, I run a little bit harder and a little bit faster to make sure I can afford a nanny until my daughter’s old enough to take care of that herself.

I don’t know whether anyone will care to examine my heart, but if they do, they will find two words there- ‘social justice.’ For that is what I have believed in and fought for.

I never cared about money. I’m not destined to be a rich woman. I’m destined to be a woman who makes a lot of money and never has any. I’ve made millions and millions and millions of dollars and I just spend it.
