Kurt Cobain is one of the reasons I started doing music because I just loved to watch them rock out.

I think a lot of things get blown out of proportion in the media.
-
My Number 1 Award is going to go on my mantelpiece, and I'll probably kiss it for two weeks solid every time I pass it!
-
I have regrets, but you live and learn.

I wasn't a happy kid. I felt like my mum ruined our chance of a better life, because when she remarried, we went to live in Bahrain, on a compound with a swimming pool, and she ruined it all.

I had nothing and lived in the most insignificant place.

I'm just achieving goals left, right and centre, and I just feel incredibly lucky because I never thought it would happen.

Everyone loves a comeback story, and everyone loves the underdog as well. I kind of feel like I've been the underdog. Hopefully that inspires people to not give up on themselves and their lives and not give up on their dreams.

Romance and girls I don't talk about anymore: it's off limits. I just want to keep it private.

I don't know if speaking to a therapist is right for everyone.

One of my fans made a lifelike doll of me. It was incredible - it looked just like me - but an effigy is kinda weird.

Anxiety is a really crippling condition, and I suffer with it myself, and I feel for anyone who suffers from it. The way that I deal with it is try as much as possible to stay in the moment to not think about the past and not think about what's coming up in the future: to try and just seize the moment as much as possible.

I'm a Honey G fan. She can spit some vibes on one of my songs; she's got rhymes for days! She's gangster. I love her.

Who hasn't had interest from Rita Ora?

I have nothing but respect for 1D. They are great lads.
