Pop is a little bit theatrical. That's the whole vibe. That's the point - is that it's great music, great melodies, great hooks. But, on top of it, it's a presentation. There's a showmanship about it. And that's why I wanted to be a pop star.

As a pop star, you don't have to be that smart for people to think you're intelligent.

Maybe I'm not a typical pop star, but I don't think there's a mould for a pop star or singer. You can do whatever you want.

I don't really see myself as a pop star. I guess I just really enjoy being able to play my music for people who actually want to listen to it.

If you think about it, I was at college, and then three months later, I was a massive pop star. It's stress-making, especially when you're a bit of an oddball as I was, the black sheep left to your own devices, and then suddenly everyone's interested in you.

Within three months I had gone from being this black sheep of the town to suddenly becoming a pop star.

Here in England, everyone's a pop star, innit, whereas in America they believe in the term artist.

I used to sit in my bedroom and think that all of my favourite pop stars go on stage, they sing, and then they do other normal stuff. I didn't know what goes on or what you let yourself in for.

In Asia, I didn't feel like I was Chloe. I felt like I was acting like someone in Asia. I was acting like Chloe Wang, a pop star, that was like a character for me, if anything.

One Direction. Proper pop band. There has to be a band that people want to scream at. I don't think I've ever behaved like a pop star.
