Отрывок из книги
Hi everyone, we’ve very excited to welcome you to the eBook edition of Where We Are. We hope you enjoy reading it as much as we enjoyed writing it!
When we look back over our time in 1D so far we can hardly believe everything that’s happened to us. There are so many things we’re proud of, but the ones that really stand out are having three number one albums (and particularly all of the writing we have done on Midnight Memories), all of our tours (which have been incredible), winning some amazing awards and our first ever movie, This Is Us, becoming a number one box office hit.

I surround myself with people who do all kinds of jobs, and I like going out to all sorts of places that aren’t to do with the industry. Also, my friends will tell me if I’m doing something wrong or if something I’m wearing looks ridiculous, and not everyone has that. Some people only have ‘yes’ people around them, who tell them they’re wonderful all of the time, and they can lose perspective.
I think it’s nice to give back, and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with buying my mum a present if I want to, but I try to buy people things that they need rather than random big gifts. You can end up looking like a massive show-off if you turn up with loads of gifts for Christmas or someone’s birthday, because it looks like you’re trying to trump everyone else’s presents. Plus, if you give things to people all of the time they stop meaning anything. I prefer giving thoughtful presents. Anyone can buy something expensive if they have the money, but it’s harder to buy something that means something to someone.
