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.

I like the term 'misunderstood.' But I am a bit of a bad boy.

Zayn Malik

I am a bit of a bad boy. I have tattoos and I mess around. That's part of my image, so it's cool.

Zayn Malik

Two years ago, if anyone had told me I'd be doing half the stuff I'm doing, I wouldn't have believed it.

Zayn Malik

Everything is very black and white for me. I don't really like playing mind games.

Zayn Malik

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.

Zayn Malik

One Direction is the main thing I'm doing and I'm 100 per cent dedicated to the group.

Zayn Malik

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.

Zayn Malik

Some girls like to say one thing and mean another. And me being who I am, I'm very straightforward.

Zayn Malik

We didn't really expect to achieve anything outside of the UK, and it just went crazy. It's just crazy that people know our music. We're just humbled by it.

Zayn Malik

We needed to make a sound that's not gonna fit in with everything else - we wanted to make something that was completely unique and individual to us. We spent a lot of time trying to make a sound that was a One Direction sound. At first it was quite hard to do that, but I'm really happy with the sound.

Zayn Malik

When people are putting pressure on me I just completely ignore it.

Zayn Malik

I was a bit of a handful when I was a kid because I was quite hyperactive. Even in the house my mum used to put me in my pram because I was so full-on.

Zayn Malik

I'm kind of like a bit of everything wrapped into one.

Zayn Malik

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.

Zayn Malik

I'm a massive fan of Drake, and we walked right past him. He's too cool to be clapping One Direction though.

Zayn Malik

Whenever anything went wrong at home, because I was the only boy, I would get blamed for it straight away. Girls stick together.

Zayn Malik

I just love comic books. I've always loved comic book art, and I just think it's amazing.

Zayn Malik

I've got three sisters, five aunties, and my mom. It must have had an influence on me growing up.

Zayn Malik

I'm not one to get involved with what anyone says about me.

Zayn Malik

I believe that your religion should be between you and whoever your belief is in.
