My trademark saying is probably “VAS HAPPENIN?!”

Without the fans there's no reason to be One Direction.

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

Life isn’t a music player where you choose whats being played, it is a radio where you have to enjoy whats being played.

Music was important. Football was the easy part.

Music is a very big participant in everything I do, from the moment I wake up to the moment I go to bed.

As a woman, you spend so much time either cooking or getting ready to go somewhere. I like to have music when I'm doing either of these things.

Oh to be a pear tree – any tree in bloom! With kissing bees singing of the beginning of the world!

“A sandwich and a cup of coffee, and then off to violin-land, where all is sweetness and delicacy and harmony, and there are no red-headed clients to vex us with their conundrums.”

“There is nothing more to be said or to be done tonight, so hand me over my violin and let us try to forget for half an hour the miserable weather and the still more miserable ways of our fellowmen.”

“A musician must make music, an artist must paint, an poet must write, if he is to be ultimately at peace with himself. What a man can be, he must be. This weed we call self-actualization….It refers to man’s desire for self-fulfillment, namely to the tendency for him to become actually in what he is potentially: to become everything one is capable of becoming.”

“A musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet must write, if he is to be ultimately at peace with himself. What a man can be, he must be”

Every day brings a chance for you to draw in a breath, kick off your shoes, and dance.

When you dance, you can enjoy the luxury of being you.

“Yoga is like music. The rhythm of the body, the melody of the mind, and the harmony of the soul creates the symphony of life.”

"... For me it is essential, essential for the poet to have a new toast, new songs."

I'm the biggest music lover in the world. I mean, I have seen everybody. I went on tour with Michael Jackson and the Jacksons four or five times.

I always thought I should be treated like a star.

When I'm hungry, I eat. When I'm thirsty, I drink. When I feel like saying something, I say it.

I am my own experiment. I am my own work of art.

I stand for freedom of expression, doing what you believe in, and going after your dreams.

There's always gonna be guys who are just wonderful singers and probably shouldn't be writing songs. Then there's always gonna be guys who move up the ranks writing. I don't know what's healthier or what's the best thing - probably whatever yields the best songs.

I just cut songs I love and that represent what I want to say. And if it crosses over, that's very flattering. It's cool to know that with people listening to rock and rap, I'm sitting on their iPods along with that stuff.

I try to be a good representative for country music. But as a country artist, it's important to move the needle and make a difference beyond your core audience. But you can't ever strategically try to accomplish that; then things get weird.
