“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.”

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.

No matter how many times people try to criticize you, the best revenge is to prove them wrong.

Don’t call a girl obsessed when she’s in love.

People expect star kids to be perfect – horse-riding, fighting.

It isn’t easy being a celebrity cricketer in India.

I don’t like being famous – it is like a prison. And driving for Ferrari would make it far worse.

For me the most important thing is being a really good person, and that doesn’t depend on what you do on stage, that depends on how you treat people when you’re offstage.

Do good by stealth, and blush to find it fame.

Being famous is like a dream come true but it’s really difficult because you lose your freedom. I don’t want to lose being a kid.

I’m getting my respect as a video director. The fashion industry respects me and knows who I am.

Eminem is the greatest, ever.
