Do have any advice for Zayn Malik, who recently left the group?
I've never met him. I've only met Harry, who orbits in social circles where sometimes we end up at the same parties. Harry's not got a great deal to say for himself, but he's a good lad! For Zayn, though, I'd say, "****in' get a good accountant because life is very ****in' long."
It's a strange thing for that lad to have done at that age. The greatest quote was — I laughed out loud when I read it — "I just want to be a normal 22-year-old." Pfft. Who wants to be a normal 22-year-old?! Hang on a minute. You can be ****ing anything that moves and gettin' paid half a million dollars a week, you ****in' idiot. You want to be a normal 22-year-old? Have you met any normal 22-year-olds? They're ****in' ****-for-brains. What are you talking about, you ****in' idiot? God. All those young Japanese girls suckin' me ****. [Sarcastically] So shallow and meaningless. I'll say this to you, Zayn: You might have wanted to be a normal 22-year-old, but you won't want to be a normal 25-year-old [laughs].
