During a meeting on the Zach Sang Show, the 31-year-old “Pillowtalk” vocalist claimed he desires he would certainly’ve taken even more time to value his time with the British kid band.
“The main thing that I always feel bad about when I look back over my life is not enjoying the band enough,” discussed Malik, whose brand-new cd, Room Under the Stairs, went down on Friday (May 10).
“I feel like I just took things too seriously. I’m grateful that I’m able to be happier now. I can actually enjoy things and own my own perspective a bit. Like, glass half full versus it being half empty. That’s my choice.”
Malik stunned followers by revealing his separation from One Direction in March 2015. Later that year, the continuing to be four-piece– Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson– took place an uncertain respite.

During the meeting, Malik included that his more youthful self “didn’t understand the importance of just trying to be happy. I had this, like, teen angst thing going on — chip on my shoulder. I’m like, ‘It’s really cool to be moody as f— all the time.’ It’s not. You’re just a loser. Let’s be honest, you know what I mean?”
Since after that, Malik has actually found out that “you should be a nice person. You should be somebody that people want to be around and enjoy being in your presence, and you should bring light to peoples’ day instead of being this f—ing negative cloud of energy.”

“I don’t know how you know what love is. That’s a really deep question. It’s hard, you know? I think love comes in many different forms. In love with somebody is a whole different, kind of complicated, you know? There’s so many different variables that go into it,” Malik claimed.
He included, “When you ask me, ‘What is love?’ I think the reason that’s hard for me to answer that question is I don’t know if I’ve ever actually truly been in love.”
