“Into everyone. And it's like if you're making your avatar and you've got to go and do 10 free kicks to earn the next Ronaldo boot, you're like, all right, I'll get in there and do them. The moment someone asks you to do something in life to earn something, you're like, oh, I don't want to do it. But it's like, that's why I was trying to think how we explain that to kids. But that's the most basic analogy I can come up with, you know? Children's book. I had an idea for Children's book, actually, but we didn't finish it. That's a lot of the things in my book. Look at my smile at me.”

“Christian Bael, for example. I love his acting go to. And I mean, some things he's done in his career have been really unhealthy when he did the machinist and stuff like that. But I like that drive and I like the fact that he like buries himself into a role and stuff. And I've never learned that quite yet. So that might be one of the things I want to. Exactly. It's almost, yeah, it's like taking people's stuff, but you're molding it into your own character. We were talking today about Avatars, which is obviously a huge market at the moment. People spend so much time on their avatars, on their games when they start something. But in life, you are your avatar.”

“So they mix it with her. Exactly, this is funny. So they mix it with a lion, mixed with a snake, mixed with a crocodile, mixed with a dinosaur because they're the ones that we have. So they base them off of stuff. So I like look at people who are my heroes and I think what is it that I love about them that I don't think I possess yet? And then that's how you know you can respect yourself. And I think that's the most important thing for me is I get up in the morning, I respect myself, I go to bed on nighttime, I respect myself. I'm happy. But certain things about my life and even this moment, I want to change. But it's like...”

“I think the one thing I say about success and about these things, if I'm honest about happiness, I think it's learning to have respect for yourself. I mean, there's a lot of things people say about don't base yourself on others and never look at other people in that way, which I actually think you need to throw out the window because there's when I was like, it's almost weird, I learned it from my character design. When I was designing characters, I didn't start from nowhere. And how I learned to design characters was like, how do you make a dragon if you've never seen one? How do you know what a dragon?”

“I mean, we've done so many random Tripton Namibia with ant was one of the things, and we jumped. We did it a world first of a canyon swing in Namibia, which was really crazy and wild. And I thought I might die on national television. That is okay. What else did we do? I do in this NFT things really interesting. Doing the online shows because we were one of the first people to really like pioneer with the company. I think that my team were massive, massive behind that. But it was almost like making a TV show every week with new songs and songs that I hadn't sang since whatever songs I'd never heard before. And I just would turn up and do it. And we did really, really well. And I love that. I don't know. I think I've had many, many, many jobs. I've got like a laundronist to the point where when the census came, I didn't know what the hell to write.”

No, I need to things of meditation with my old personal training that were quite good, but I just, my mind's so fucking busy. I can't shut it up.

“Learning to relax, learning to just be, you know, a lot of people be part of the moment, man. Be in the moment. And like I'm like, this is bullshit. But it's true. If you can just sit, you know, and enjoy something for what it is for five minutes.”

“Yeah, so once you reach that height, I suppose one of the reasons I struggled the most out of it is because you're never really going to reach that height again. And then it's almost like limbo. and also not knowing whether or not we're going to come back. Are we going to come back? Everyone's asking, oh, no, no, that feels like pressure to come back. It's almost like your parents going, when's baby two coming? You know what I mean? We've got to have another one. So that's wild to me. And having to deal with that at a young age, I was always going to mess it up somewhere is what I would say about myself. That's like he says, the worst day ever. You know, the day the band ended, I was like, thank Lord for that. And I know a lot of people are going to be mad at me for saying that, but I needed to stop or it would kill me.”

“Well, I mean, look at this and talk about direction. That whole thing for me and that mountain for me was 1D. Music after that, like I said, you're never going to keep up with what we did. We sold so many records and we did some, we broke so many records, we did so many things. We were in stadiums every day, 94,000 people every day. I was in like, I used to break into Wembley Stadium on the nighttime because it was fun and I was smashed. And I thought these people aren't going to recognize me. I've broken into every major stadium in America. Honestly. And the people who used to chase us on these police-like little squad bikes being like, hey, sir, you're not supposed to be in here. And we'd run because it was like a game attack. I swear to God.”

“Thing and watch the sunrise was the best thing. And you know why it's fucking free. You can stand and watch a sunrise and go, wow, thanks for another day sort of thing. I know that sounds really woo sar and like really far out spiritual, but I didn't, for me, it wasn't like that. I just enjoyed seeing how beautiful this moment was. And I was the only person in Hyde Park running at 4am every single day. And it was some of the best time I've had in life.”

“No, I've found a couple of things that I think I'm interested in. But the thing is once you start making money on these scales and things that happen, it only becomes the drive that's interesting to you if it's going to fast forward you somehow. And that's that toxic thing that we funny enough we've come full circle. But it's the same sort of thing. And I think it's a big problem for me because if it's not, I'm thinking, why am I? And that's why drawing for me was the biggest one at the time because I was like, this is what children do. Why should I do this? And then funny that I drew something that was about being a child was that it's weird how things go full circling that in that respect. But yeah, I often struggle to get on with something if I don't think it's forwarding me in life somehow, rather than just enjoying the moment or going out and watching the sunset. One of my biggest things that made me happy while I was training was 4 a.m. getting up in the dark and this sounds like I am some sort of psychopath. And I was. But you're like go into the park, run for a little bit and then stand.”

“You up bad. Someone said to me to be quite interesting the other day our view of what we hunt for as humans has changed. We don't hunt for food anymore. We hunt for success. So it's almost like the target went from animals and corn and food to frigginis and that sort of stuff. But that's what we strive for now. Like you were saying earlier about you're so glad he was here because that supplements your food sometimes. You're that driven by your drive that you forget you're going to eat sometimes. And I was the same at work. Oh my God, I'm terrible. Like I'm known for skipping lunch breaks and working through the day to get home quicker because I can go without. I'll just muster on through. But think about that. You've gone past your basic survival instinct to... It's wild, right”

“Once upon a time when I was broken, this is a big one I mean, what happens when you wake up and every day is a dream? That'll mess you up. I often have looked for the moment in life where I bang my head and I might be in some sort of comorous dream that I've invented for myself. Like I was that messed up at some point. I was like, I'm sure this is a simulation, guys. I must have made this wall. Because I can't be here because of where I was yesterday.”

“Just thought I could do it. I thought I could, and I wanted to challenge myself in the gym to, it was, you know, it's hard to be strictly about looking the gym. Not function, which that was the bit I battled with myself a little bit, but it's like, yeah, I think you want to go out and get it, go out and get it. But I don't think we should, like I say, in accepting everybody, let's not lose the idea of striving for something as well, though, because it's so right to say, yeah, I'm perfect was an advert I saw somewhere the other day. And I thought, are we really that narcissistic? Do we have to call all ourselves perfect for everyone to be okay with each other? And like I might get in trouble for saying some of this stuff, but it's just like my thought is like I want to teach the next generation to strive for things as much as I want them to feel confident in themselves. But it's like, it's almost like being a parent, right? You're going to mess them up somehow. Like if we start saying we're perfect, I guarantee next week we'll be like, well, that's not worked out well. So let's rewrite the plan on that one. You know, and I just think everyone just, you know, give each other a break and just.”

“But I also think there's a fine line between these things and accepting everybody and all this stuff is a given. But I don't think that in the process of that we want to lose the thing to settle for ourselves. You know, there was a big debate about me on loose women at one point. I was all right with it. It was okay. I understood what they were saying. But I worked really hard for what I did in my underwear commercial, you know. And it was, it did overtake my life in certain respects. Yeah, for sure. It did, but it was actually an aim of mine. It's one of the only things I've ever aimed for was to try and do an underwear commercial. So I remember I went to my meeting with the company I was working with and they were like, no, no, we don't want to do that with you. And I was like, no, trust me. Just trust me. And be fair, they put the trust in me. I went and trained my ass off and I got myself where I wanted to be. But then it was like people worried about people's self-esteem looking at the picture and whatever else. I get that. But I quite enjoy the idea of looking at someone and being like, wow, that's cool, man.”

“What about the people who first experienced hay fever? They figured out their way around that. You know what I mean? It's like. For me, it seems like we will figure out the right things of it, but it's weeding out the bad sides of it and what it does. Like, I think if your TikTok screen is advice and videos about learning stuff or like stuff that you're actually really interested in, you enjoy, not just random funny crap, because that's what you've been framed was, right? You want to find yourself watching you've been framed all day. Really? Because that's what you're doing.”

“I mean, what's amazing is we were also worried about technology pushing us away from each other when COVID hit, right? Yeah. But it was the only thing that saved us, thank God when COVID did hit, which I thought said a lot more about technologies, good sides than it did about the bad sides. I mean, it's up to you how you use your platform in the end and what you let it do to you. Like I say, I enjoy TikTok, but I watch a few videos and I watch things that people send me. I don't really have a for you page. I don't really go through it constantly because there's, you know. It's difficult with kids on screens, man. Like, I have one and I watch him, and I'm like, I really want to, like, you know, we go, I make him go out and do stuff. And sometimes we fall out big. We have rows about.”

I honestly think there's a strong case for saying that we owe a little bit of our success to the way Twitter was because worldwide trends weren't a thing before one direction were an X factor. Whereas on that night we could trend everywhere and then people would go, oh my God, what's this? Magically, oh, the biggest band on X Factor was the same time Twitter came out.

“The old marketing format for these things. And it's almost like when you see companies that try and do TikToks, don't do it like that because we can see right through what you're doing. You've made a TikTok. And I was supposed to laugh, but it's not funny. And it's the same for the music industry. It's like, there's a new way that people are promoing things now. You know, Billy Eilish came from a bedroom and did this and it's worked out really well, but it wasn't the same format that you used back in 2010. I mean, the way the industry's changed while I've been in it has been wild, and I've only been here a decade, just over a decade now. But it's insane. But I just think.”

This whole thing I used to hate was going on and off talk shows, going on and off and doing this, doing everything else that seemed to be for everybody else. And it was promo in your record.

And that's not being pretentious or anything other than the fact that I want to give him a chance to be bare first before he has to be, oh, your mom and dad are so-and-so. And I made my choice to be where I was at 14, 15. So I figured he can make his own choice then too. We'll have a good discussion about it, a long discussion because I know what effects that can have as well. But I would never stop him doing something he wanted to do. I'd let him know the risks and I'd tell him what was going to happen, you know, and better that than my parents didn't really ever experience any of the things I've experienced before I got there. So they had no idea what I was signing up for. Would they change it? Probably not, but they would change some things that happened in between across the way. I bet 100%.”

And I'm like, oh, yeah, I feel like I bought something. Now that's good. At least I did something fun with what I'm working my ass off for. But I'm not like that.

But if you develop on that and conversations I've had with people, money is care and the ability to relax on certain things. Life's going to kick you in that.”

“Points, yes, on certain stuff I would, but not I'm more of a worrier than I was a splurger. I was like, because of where I lived and where I was from, I knew it could disappear. So I was always really cautious about protecting what I have and only spending what I earn.”

“Yeah, and I think as a kid growing, and especially if you like rap music as well, it becomes a computer for me. Rap music made me spend a hell of a lot of money. I would say, yeah, I mean, I have one of my friends over recently. And my dad made decisions in our house of what was going on and stuff. And he did them for the right reasons. So I stand by that and he doesn't need to feel any pain in that whatsoever because he wanted us to go on holiday and go to America and he would bury himself. And he was so stressed. He said at one point in his life, he woke up and he couldn't remember his own name because he was so far in debt that he was only covering the interest, which I can't imagine how that feels. I mean, it probably feels the exact same how I feel some days with the other side of it, which is wild. We won't get into that. But at one point in my life, I mean, my friend, the professional poker player now, but he was quite a rich kid at school because he was like playing poker since he was like 13. So when we would go down to get breakfast, I couldn't afford it. And he'd buy me like 20 peas worth of toast and I couldn't afford it.”

“Yeah, I mean, I'm not going to go into detail because I lost some money. My thing I always say to people is like, I will tell you where I lost as much as I tell you where I win. You've got to make mistakes there, right? Yeah, 100%. And like my point is I'm going to do better than whatever my last mistake was anyway. That's the point. If I trust myself enough, it won't matter in the long run.”
