DNCE is “dance without the a.” It’s not a perfect word, and you don’t always have to be a perfect dancer to dance. Life is just sometimes not perfect.
I feel like every artist has an opportunity to create something new and to challenge themselves to reach out to a new crowd.
Sometimes the only way to win is to die trying.
I can’t grow a moustache.
I became friends with a lot of chefs. I was a judge on ‘Top Chef’ last year. It was a dream come true.
Heels are really hard to wear. I feel bad for every girl that has to wear heels or chooses to wear heels. They’re not fun.
I’m a big shoe guy, too. I have far too many pairs. Whenever there’s a new style out, I’ll text my stylist: ‘Can we get a pair of those?’
A lot of people put pressure on themselves and think it will be way too hard for them to live out their dreams. Mentors are there to say, ‘Look, it’s not that tough. It’s not as hard as you think. Here are some guidelines and things I have gone through to get to where I am in my career.’
I wanna go play my music in a club.
I’m a big fan of certain new acts. I love any genre of music, and I think it’s really great to see that there are new artists coming through. It’s kinda funny to think that I’m like the old man on campus now. But I’m really happy for groups like One Direction. I think they’re really good guys.
I had a bowl cut for years, and glasses. When Harry Potter became famous, I looked just like him.
When life gives you lemons, throw them back.
If it’s the first kiss, it’s important for the eyes to be closed so you know it’s real. It’s almost like a Disney movie!
I’ve gone through a lot of stuff in my life so far. There are stories I haven’t really been able to tell.
I love Paris – it’s one of my favorite cities – and so to shoot a video in Paris was a dream come true.
I love a good fitted suit. England is known for men who can wear good suits.
I warm up. I do about 50 push-ups with my trainer and my security just to get pumped up before a show, get our energy up. And then I just go have fun.
When I meet a fan, I always try to learn something about that fan.
I love being in a brothers band. I have no desire to move away from it at all.
Im understanding that, in music, you can really be yourself and people accept you for who you are, that is a big thing to me.
Adele’s amazing, I think the world of her and her music and I think Tinie Tempah is cool. To work with someone like Kanye West would be awesome.
