I'm happy that I have brought laughter because I have been shown by many the value of it in so many lives, in so many ways.

Love yourself first and everything else falls into line. You really have to love yourself to get anything done in this world.

I'd rather regret the things that I have done than the things that I have not.

I'd rather regret the things I've done than regret the things I haven't done.

It doesn't pay to get discouraged. Keeping busy and making optismism a way of life can restore your faith in yourself

Politics should be the part-time profession of every citizen who would protect the rights and privileges of free people and who would preserve what is good and fruitful in our national heritage.

Keeping busy and making optimism a way of life can restore your faith in yourself.

People either have comedy or they don't. You can't teach it to them.

I have an everyday religion that works for me. Love yourself first, and everything else falls into line.

The secret of staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly, and lie about your age.

I'd rather regret the things I have done than the things that I haven't.

I've been told throughout my career that I have good instincts, and the idea of discovery and development in terms of a new artist is so exciting to me. Being only 25 and in a position where I might be able to grant opportunities is really cool.

A frustration that I've had recently is that a lot of songs that I listen to draw on scenarios that aren't very realistic, so I just wanted to do something that was more down to earth. And I think my fans, who already know a lot about me, will learn something new.

You know what it would just be amazing to be remembered, you know like a mum telling a daughter ‘the boyband of my time, One Direction, they just had fun and they’re just normal guys but terrible, terrible dancers.’

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.

Live life for the moment because everything else is uncertain!

If you want to do something, go for it -you've got nothing to lose.

Zayn's good to just sit down and chat to about pretty much anything. At the end of the night, we just sit around and talk about our life before One Direction, or anything at all, really.

I can't really cook, but the first dish I ever made was for my girlfriend, Eleanor. I made chicken breast wrapped in ham, homemade mashed potatoes, and gravy.

I like kisses that aren't too fast or rushed - that's what makes a good kiss.

I'm a very loyal boyfriend. I'm a bit of a joker... I can be romantic, but not too sickly.

I will confess I am a great wingman. Since I have a girlfriend, I'll start the night with her, but then I'll help out the guys by making them sound like the most incredible guys in the world.

For me, Robbie Williams was a massive influence when I was growing up. But also Cheryl Cole. Being in her presence was intimidating, because she's so hot.

I just like really simple things. If I had been on tour for a while and I got to come back and take my girlfriend Eleanor on a date, we would go to the cinema and then out for dinner.
