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 MalikI'm a massive fan of Drake, and we walked right past him. He's too cool to be clapping One Direction though.
Zayn MalikIt'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.
Zayn MalikIt doesn't matter how much you flirt the whole day, at night you'll always end up thinking about the one you truly love.
Zayn MalikI 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 MalikDon't call a girl a flirt, she's just trying to be nice. Don't call a girl obsessed when she's just in love.
Zayn MalikI thought I had a type but I don't really have a type anymore. I just look for a girl who doesn't take herself too seriously.
Zayn MalikSome girls like to say one thing and mean another. And me being who I am, I'm very straightforward. Everything is very black and white for me. I don't really like playing mind games.
Zayn MalikA 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!
Zayn MalikTwo years ago, if anyone had told me I'd be doing half the stuff I'm doing, I wouldn't have believed it.
Zayn MalikI do feel like I've missed out a bit because I was really close with my sisters when I was at home. It must be weird for them but they cope really well.
Zayn MalikIf you meet a girl, you meet a girl. It's normal, so if you exchange numbers, whatevs, it's cool.
Zayn MalikOur parents are obviously proud, but they're still trying to get used to the fact that we're in a band. I have a feeling my mom would actually like One Direction if I wasn't in it!
Zayn MalikI'm always drawing, so Draw Something is a cool game to play against your friends when you're bored and sat chilling out and relaxing.
Zayn MalikLoving you is what I’ve learned so easily but trying to forget you is the last thing I could hardly learn.
Zayn Malikand remember, nobody's feelings are more important than your own, so take time to love yourself.
Zayn MalikWe 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 MalikLittle Things isn't about anyone in particular, it's about all girls. You're all beautiful and you need to hear it more often
Zayn MalikWe 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.
