Int: What is the difference between Niall as a solo artist and Niall from One Direction? Niall: I'm about a year and a half older than I was when I was in One Direction, uh, so I'd say I've matured a small bit. I've realized that I'm not 17 anymore and can't be crazy [...] and so, yeah, I would say that that's been the biggest thing. And then... I don't know. I guess the music is quite different and it's all very from me, and all the lyrics are mine and guitar's mine and all the instrumentation's mine, so it's all very me. When we would tour before, we would make an album as well, so that was very busy all the time, whereas this time, I've been making the album for like a year. I've had some chill time, ya know, I've been in and out of the studio when I wanted to, so I was kind of just floating along. So I think time was on my side this time. Int: Would you say like the creative process in your mind or head or spirit, whatever you call it, is that a lot different? Niall: Yeah, yeah, it's very different, cause you get - as I said, time helps. Cause you can sit down and you can - I can start a song and then not finish it for a couple of weeks or have an idea for something and not really use it for a long time, whereas before, when we would write and we were on the road, we would have to finish it pretty much straight away, you know, cause we only had a certain amount of time to make it.
