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.

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.

Our 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!

I love samosas filled with mincemeat. My mum makes really great ones.

I'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.

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.

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

It's nice to look out and see your family supporting you.

I consider myself very lucky, essentially - I was put into a pop group even though my musical taste was very niche before.

Now that we have a bit of money, it is nice to get gifts for people. Before I was getting and not really giving.

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

When we were in Sweden, there was a fan that hid in a bin. I think one of the security guards saw and tried to take her out, and she went a bit crazy and started tackling them.

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

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

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

I think people I'm close to find it absolutely crazy that I'm famous.

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.

I'm a couch potato. I love to stay in and just watch a DVD with the missus. Or we all go over to Louis's house and watch 'X Factor.'

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.

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

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

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

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

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.
