A girl fainted in front of me the other day. Obviously you don't get to see things like that unless you are The Beatles who have that power, and to see it that close was a bit scary... It was cool to know I can make a girl faint!
I'm kind of like a bit of everything wrapped into one.
I believe that your religion should be between you and whoever your belief is in.
I'd call myself the mediator. I kind of just float around and do my own thing. I'm kind of chilled out, laid back.
I've got three sisters, five aunties, and my mom. It must have had an influence on me growing up.
I'm a couch potato. I love to stay in and just watch a DVD with the missus. Or we all go over to Louis's house and watch 'X Factor.'
Everything is very black and white for me. I don't really like playing mind games.
When we were in Sweden, there was a fan that hid in a bin. I think one of the security guards saw and tried to take her out, and she went a bit crazy and started tackling them.
I think people I'm close to find it absolutely crazy that I'm famous.
Now that we have a bit of money, it is nice to get gifts for people. Before I was getting and not really giving.
I consider myself very lucky, essentially - I was put into a pop group even though my musical taste was very niche before.
It's nice to look out and see your family supporting you.
Honestly, like, American football is not that big over in the U.K., so we hadn't really heard of Drew Brees before. I did know that he was, like, a massive football player. He's a massive star, so I was still a little bit anxious and nervous to meet him.
Live for who and what you love.
