“Like me and Zayn when we were younger we had countless conversations of like, you know, 'should we just pack it in? should we just call it a day?' [Why?] Because you feel alienated. You are living this lifestyle that... and there's a million different reasons, right? But the fame thing is really difficult and mostly for me it was about being alienated and I can't like... any of my life experience was now not so relevant to some of my friends, you know, and I think this is part of growing up in a working class town but I have this like guilt for the success and money that I've earned as well and I think that also is kind of part of the same thing I think.”
“But I think an important distinction post show would be I'd smoke my weed. I'd go back to my tour bus and I'd go and smoke me weed and Zayn would would smoke with me too. I hope he doesn't mind me saying that. I'm sure he won't. And that was great. And actually like, you know, people do things for different reasons and that was my vice. That was my choice. […] So what we would do is we'd get back on the tour bus, we'd play Call of Duty zombies, we'd smoke our weed, and like that's all we'd think about and that's all we'd do. And then we'd get into cliché stoner chats of deep conversation, probably UFOs, you know, all that kind of shit and as daft as that might look and feel, again it's our normality. It's creating the normality on tour.”
