Kidd Kraddick In The Morning was backstage with One Direction members Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Zayn Malik, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson for an interview. The boyband discussed their celebrity crushes, if they feel welcomed in America, what it was like to beat out Adele for a Brit Award, and more.

On celebrity crushes, Niall said:

I was told the Kardashian girls were our fans so I decided to Tweet Khloe (and invite them to the show). They’re all very hot.

That prompted Kidd to call Khloe up and they had a conversation.

On debuting at #1 in the U.S., Harry said:

I think that obviously we’re not from here, so for us to come over here and for us to come over and just be welcomed by everyone. Everyone’s been so nice and we’re very grateful. The reaction has been more than anything we could have asked for. The fans have been absolutely amazing.

On being so polished while performing on television, Niall said:

We spent most of 2010 on ‘The X Factor’ so we had cameras basically living with us from the minute we went to sleep from the minute we woke up. Cameras are on all the time so you just get used to it.

On Niall being the one guy from Ireland:

We always spend so much time away from England, and when they go back to London it’s kind of like their country. But I’m always away because I live in London as it is.

On beating out Adele at the Brits, Harry said:

It’s just like so strange. She is literally in terms of music, the last year she could just do no wrong. The album is amazing. Obviously being number one for so long just shows how incredible it was.

Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson of One Direction were interviewed by Sugarscape while promoting Mario Kart, where the boyband talked about how they spent Valentine’s Day, Liam not drinking, and how American fans compare to their British followers.

On Valentine’s Day, Niall said:

We were actually working for a lot of it, which was a bit upsetting. We went straight back to England when we were finished so we didn’t get to spend a lot of time there. Maybe next time when we’ve got more time.

On Liam choosing not to drink, Louis said:

Let me tell you, he uses in interviews that can’t drink. We researched it and he can drink. He’s been using it as an excuse ever since we’ve been trying to corrupt him. We’ve been trying to corrupt him ever since.

Asked about American fans compared to British fans, Harry said:

American fans seem to be more confident. They’re more likely to come up to you and have a conversation with you. I wouldn’t say (the British fans) were scared. I don’t know. I’m not really sure.

Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson of One Direction were in the studio with 103.5 KTU in New York City on March 13th, where the boyband talked about Simon Cowell putting the group together, their success, what to expect from their album, their influences and why girls throw carrots at them on stage.

On getting to know each other:

We had two weeks to get to know each other before we performed together at my house, and we kind of just made sure we were friends first. We hung out and played soccer.

Being excited about how things have gone:

It’s been real exciting. When we started out we expected to do maybe one record in England and see how that goes, but the power of YouTube and Twitter it expanded it across Europe and now we’re here in America, it’s crazy for us at the moment.

On what to expect from the album:

There’s something different for everybody. There’s slow songs, upbeat songs… We just hope there’s something on there that you like and enjoy, and maybe something that surprises you that you didn’t expect us to do, so that’s what you can expect.

On their influences:

We’ve been told that we’re like Pink in a boyband, so that’s what we try to work around. Kind of pop rock.

On carrots being thrown on stage:

When we first started out on X Factor, just because I thought I was witty and funny, I found out I was actually neither of those, I decided to say I like girls who eat carrots. Ever since, girls have thrown carrots on stage, given me carrots as a gift.

Vervegirl correspondent Kim Cooper interviewed Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson of One Direction and asked them questions from the Vervegirl BBM Community.

On their biggest fears:

Zayn: I have a few actually. I’m scared of a few things. I’m scared of heights. I don’t like heights and when Louis messed about on stairs I hate it. I’m scared of rides and I’m also scared water. I can’t swim.

Liam: I suppose I have a fear of heights but I can’t do it at the same time. But I love to go skydiving so maybe I don’t have a fear of heights. I’m not sure.

Louis: I suppose I’m scared of aging. I’m scared of birds. Of pigeons. I can’t stand them and one once flew in my bathroom window. I went to have a wee minding my own business. Whoa! There’s a bird in the bathroom!

Harry: I think if it came down to it I’m probably a little afraid of snakes. I have a feeling if a snake was in front of me I just wouldn’t be a fan.

Niall: I’m claustrophobic so I’m scared of tight spaces. I’m the same as Louis. I hate birds. Especially birds indoors. Birds indoors is the most horrible thing ever.

Romeo of Scotland’s In Demand interviewed Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson of One Direction at In:Demand HQ just before the big race. The British-Irish boy band discussed how the tour is going, the Brit nomination, Liam’s phone number leaking, looking up to Take That, and much more.

On the tour, Harry said:

Really good. Crowds have been amazing. They’re interacting and they get really involved.

On having a Best Single Brit nomination, Harry said:

The fact that we’re even among those names nominated is an absolute honor. I think if we were to win, it would just be incredible. To be named with those names in the first place is unbelievable. I think Ed Sheeran’s gonna do really well. He’s up for four or five things.

Liam on his phone number leaking:

It was people phoning me asking me for chicken curry last night. Then today I had some insurance quotes. Yes (a change in number is on the way). Already in process.

On being the next Take That or Westlife, Louis said:

It could be any of us. It could be JLS, The Wanted. It could be any of us.

On their view of Take That, Harry said:

We went to watch Take That on the stadium tour. We went to Wembley. In terms of the whole boyband thing, they’re definitely someone that we say we look up to. The way they own the crowd and obviously their careers. They span years and have been unbelievable. They’ve been amazing, so if we got anywhere close to their success overall I think it would be incredible. achievement. It’s definitely what we’re aiming for.

One Direction chat to Two Girls and a Guy about their brand new single ‘One Thing’, the accompanying video, merchandise, what they got up to over Christmas and New Year, resolutions, still pinching themselves after performing, and more.

On their holidays, Harry stated:

We just had like nice quiet family Christmases. It was really nice. We’d been away from home for quite an extended period of time.

On their New Year’s Eve celebration, Louis said:

We had a big, big house party at Harry’s place. Big. About 80 people. There was a pretty good ratio actually (of guys and girls). We dabbled in some Scotch.

On their new single, Liam said:

The new single is called ‘One Thing’. We really, really love the song. It’s the song we’ve wanted to be the single for a long time. It’s just a song about a girl who has got that special thing that you really like but you just can’t put your finger on it.

On topping their success in 2011, Louis said:

If we could have a year that compares anywhere near as close this year as last year then I think we’ll be very, very happy boys.

On their enthusiasm after every performance, Harry said:

I think that’s the exact feeling. When we finish a show because we’re just like normal guys, we’re not from stage school or anything like that we kind of look and think we’ve just put this show on. It’s so strange that us five boys have put shows on and had fans there. It’s really surreal.

Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson of One Direction were interviewed backstage at the Capital FM Jingle Bell Ball by Roberto the other day. The boyband discussed their feelings playing O2, Louis not wearing socks, cats or dogs, being a girl for a day, and their favorite thing about the station. Harry finished up by showing off his juggling skills.

On playing O2, Liam said:

It’s gonna be amazing. We can’t wait. Such a big place to play. We came here on ‘The X Factor’ tour and we’re here again. So we’re very lucky boys.

On being festive for the holidays, Harry said:

I’m even trying to do things that are very festive, like eating mince pies whenever I can.

If he could be a girl for a day, Louis said he’d be:

Cheryl Cole and run to the mirror and look at myself naked

One Direction released their debut album ‘Up All Night’ and group members Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson sat down with ITN to explain the varieties of fans they have.

Zayn said of their fans:

You have a few different types of fans. You have the ones that will come up and scream and are really hysterical, and then you have the ones that are kind of more chilled out, want to have a conversation with you. Talk to you. Then you have ones that just stare at you and walk and as they get to the end (of the meet and greet line) they scream and walk off.

Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson of One Direction talked to Ryan and Tracy from Fully Charged at Spin 1038 in Dublin, Ireland the other day.

On their screaming fans, Zayn said:

We don’t have a clue. It’s amazing. We’ve got so much support. We’ve just literally young lads having a laugh and singing and doing what we love doing, and we’ve got amazing amounts of support for it. It’s wicked.
