Musician

There are many things people don't know about me, and maybe when they read about those things, they will have an understanding of the journey I have been on, why I've made the mistakes I have, and hopefully help other people overcome their adversities.

When I've got a girlfriend, I like to be with them as much as possible, and I'm very affectionate.

It's all about respect. I'm not going to treat a woman like a piece of meat.

'The X Factor' saved me.

I often think about starting a band again, doing my solo stuff and a band. I grew up in bands.

When you find fame, or you get signed to a record label, it's not what you imagined - because you imagined they would have 100 percent trust or faith in you as an artist. Unfortunately, that's not really the case - it's what sells.

If you haven't got help, all you can do is make good music.

I want to help people to get to know my story and really tell them in detail what I've been through.

I'm not much of a public speaker.

For me, I've always been the guy who self-sabotages.

Romance and girls I don't talk about anymore: it's off limits. I just want to keep it private.

My first instinct is always to fight back because ever since I was a kid, that's what I've always had to do to survive.

I have a fan who suffered with leukemia, and apparently, the only thing that helped him through that was my music, so of course that's the ultimate sense of achievement. It's an incredible feeling.

I have nothing but respect for 1D. They are great lads.

I had a bit of a strange childhood, to be honest.

I have been through and seen so many dramas and traumas and been in so many situations that I can probably interpret a few different characters.

I had a style before I was signed, but now I'm developing my commercial sound as well as trying to strike a balance between authentic music and music that the masses will love.

I think a lot of things get blown out of proportion in the media.
