Zayn Malik

I can't really get in trouble that way either.

I tend to get in trouble in relationships too, because I was young and did certain things, spoke to other females when I shouldn't have been, as most people do.

You live and learn from it.

But this way, there's no guilt.

I can just be free and speak to whoever I want.

And hopefully if I meet somebody that I want to be serious with, I'll have spent enough time in this place to know that I want to be with that person and be committed to them.

Self-isolating?

To a certain degree, I think I did a little bit like after the band, you know, like I took a bit of time to myself.

But I wouldn't say it's complete isolation.

I always still have people around, you know.

My manager's always around that works with me and like my best friends come out and see me from time to time.

Not as much as I'd like because it is quite a long flight.

But I wouldn't say it's like self-isolation.

It's more just like removing myself from the noise for a bit.

I don't know if I was necessarily losing myself.

I just felt like there was so many things I had to do in order for this other person to be happy and things that I didn't necessarily find enjoyment in.

I'm not the type of dude that likes to go to five-star Michelin restaurants every night and get pictured and go here and go there.

This person's invited you and they're really famous, so you should go hang out with them.

you know, cause we both got the same job and you're just gonna put us on a play date.

Yeah, for me, like it doesn't, don't make sense like that, yeah.
